I was thinking that Notch could add bears and other animals like that because, though there are a lot of farm animals, there are not too many "wild" animals (except maybe wolves and ocelots). Maybe if they were hit they would attack you, but otherwise leave you alone, and have a lot of hearts. I was thinking there could be different kinds such as: black bears (will attack like wolves), cubs (passive), and grizzly bears (aggressive). If they were killed, maybe they would drop bear skin which could be used as wool or leather and could be found by rivers looking for fish or in woods. They could be 1-1.5 blocks high but wide (like 2 by 2)... just wondering if this is good idea or not..
Welcome to the forums! But please, search for things before you post them. We don't want to clog up the forum with things that have been suggested a bunch before.
