bear den
Grizzly's winter home
A bear den is a shelter where a bear hibernates through winter, typically a cave, hollow log, or dugout space.
The term extends to any cozy, enclosed retreat: The basement became his bear den during football season.
A child's play space or a man's private room may be called a bear den if it suggests rustic comfort and seclusion.
