Yes, bear have "baculum"
It's easier to list what species doesn't have them.
Human (thank God)
epuids (horse family)
marsupials (opossum, kangaroos. etc)
lagomorphs (rabbits,pikas) But rodents do have them
cetaceans (whales,dolphins, porpoises)
hyenas (that one surprised me, I thought they would have them)

Deer don't have them, what family are they? I don't think bulls do either. One other interesting note, even if you don't have a bone, the associated "member" can be broken! Yep, that's right. 68 recorded cases in humans. I saw a bull, that the vet said, had done the same thing. Said the bull had gone over/through a fence, in an excited state, after a cow. Got it hung up. What happens in humans, (and I guess others) the cells in the member, that fills with blood, gets burst, due to sudden trauma, like it gets hit real hard. When it heals, it is crooked, after that. High rate of suicide, in men, if it happens.

The article I read, documented how some of the men got theirs broken. Kinda funny, until you think about the implications.

| Ha! Where I'm from the old ppl tell stories of their coon bone toothpick. They would sharpen one end of it and keep it in their pockets for a toothpick. My grandfather pulled one out of an old box and showed it to me. He had it for over 60yrs.

I used to skin bear for extra cash. Totaled nearly 2,000. The old Iowa farmers would pay me to save the "swizel sticks". They`d take them home to win in the "biggest " coon contest
