The concept of the Teddy Bear was taken from a cartoon by Cliff Berryman called 'Drawing the Line at Mississippi.' First Teddy Bear in Germany designed by Richard Steiff, and first in U.S. by Rose Michtom. Teddy bears are said to have been developed concurrently in both the US and Germany.

A suite of attendants of Roosevelt who were hunting with hounds treed an American Black Bear after a long and exhausting chase, suggested Roosevelt shoot it. He refused to shoot it himself, deeming this un-sportsmanlike, but instructed that the treed bear be killed to put it out of its misery and it became the topic of a political cartoon in The Washington Post on November 16, 1902. A Brooklyn store owner, Morris Michtom, saw the drawing of Roosevelt and the bear cub and was inspired to create a new toy. He created a little stuffed bear cub and put it in his shop window with a sign that read "Teddy's bear."
