You all know the classic Teddy bears. But have you wondered why they are called “Teddy” and not stuffed bears?
The name comes after the US president Theodore Roosevelt. During a hunt he came across a defenseless black bear. He refused to kill the animal. The story was heard by a toy maker who decided to make a stuffed bear and call it Teddy Bear after Roosevelt. An extra fun fact is that Roosevelt actually didn’t like being called Teddy at all.
