Its bear cuz thats the animal spelling.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The homonym bear is correct. The word bear is considered a homonym because it has two different meanings and sound the same. such as bear as in an animal and bare as in plain, unclothed etc. Homonyms (also called homophones) are words that sound like one another but have different meanings. Some homonyms are spelled the same, like bark (the sound a dog makes) and bark (the outer layer of a tree trunk). Some homonyms are spelled differently, like one (the number) and won (having been victorious).
