The original characters were only bears but when other animal designed in the same style were added, they were called the Care Bear Cousins. The Care Bear Cousins come from Caremore (pronounced care•more) high above the clouds. The Care Bears come from Carealot (pronounced care•a•lot) in the clouds above earth. This leaves the inevitable joke about earth unsaid. Each animal's insignia, also called tummy symbol or belly badge, matches their purpose and/or mood.

Will Wright seems to be a fan of the Care Bears. He made sure a Care Bear creature was designed for Spore and he said it was "a vicious predator"
