Disputatio:Ursus maritimus

E Vicipaedia

  1. Do you have a precident for ursus maritimus or did you invent it?
  2. What do you intend by pellis ursi blanca? I'm guessing "the bear's pelt is white"... but whatever your intended phrasing, the word for white is albus -a -um.
  3. I have been led to believe that "bear" defaults to the feminine in Latin. That is to say, if you know the bear is male, you say ursus. Otherwise you say ursa.
