- A bear pit was historically used to display bears, typically for entertainment and especially bear-baiting. The pit area was normally surrounded by a high fence, above which the spectators would look down on the bears. The most traditional form of maintaining bears in captivity is keeping them in pits, although many zoos replaced these by more elaborate and spacious enclosures that attempt to replicate their natural habitats, for the benefit of the animals and the visitors. A noteworthy example is found in Bern, Switzerland. Known as the Bärengraben, it was built in 1857 and is still in use though much modified: after an outcry around 2000, when the bears were still in two circular pits and shut up at night, a park was constructed on the riverbank by the pits with generous access to the river Aare which has greatly improved the three bears' accommodation.

- Een berenkuil is een om beren in te vangen of om gevangen beren in tentoon te stellen, zoals onder andere gebeurde in de Bärengraben van Bern of de berenkuil in Maastricht. Een kuil kan bij de vangst van een beer gebruikt worden door een beer op te jagen in de richting van de kuil in de hoop dat de beer er in valt. Hierbij kan gebruikgemaakt worden van diverse materialen om de beer in de richting van de kuil te leiden. (nl)
