The Teddy Bear was named for American's 26th president,Theodore Roosevelt,whose nickname was Teddy.The story goes that President Roosevelt had been bear hunting.At the end of his trip,he had not shot a single bear.One of staff members caught a bear cub and lashed it to a tree for President Roosevelt to shoot.He refused.President Roosevelt felt it was inappropriate behavior for a sportsman such as himself.This story spread rapidly,people soon started to make their own Teddy Bears.Morris Michtom,an American and Margarete Steiff,a German,were the first manufacturers to produce teddy bears commercially.The Steiff Co.was the most successful of the two toy companies.You can see many of Steiff's traditional bears in the Jeju Teddy Bear Museum.
这个是它名字的由来,和罗斯福有关系
