THE REALLY STRANGE BACKSTORY BEHIND TEDDY BEARS : Teddy bears exist thanks to a 1902 hunting trip with President Teddy Roosevelt. He refused to shoot a captured sick old bear, which later got turned into a famous political cartoon. A toymaker, saw the cartoon and made a stuffed bear called "Teddy's bear", which was a worldwide hit. I know what you're thinking. I was thinking the same thing, too.
