she-bears
Female bear mothers
She-bears are female bears, especially when protecting cubs.
The term emphasizes maternal ferocity—a she-bear with young is among the most dangerous animals to encounter.
Biblical references to she-bears mauling those who threatened their offspring made the image proverbial: She defended her children like a she-bear.
