Boog accepts and does so, but to his surprise, Ursa reveals that she knew he wasn't Doug the moment he rode the unicycle, as Doug was incapable of doing so, though it wasn't for nothing: Boog still had to be punished for juggling a dog in a earlier attempt to impress her. At first, Boog has no luck convincing Ursa that he isn't Doug, causing her to be annoyed by his crush on her, so she dares Boog to prove to her that he isn't Doug by climbing up the high wire. However, Boog forgives Alistair for his involvement in Doug's scam, and bonds with him.ĭuring his time in the circus, Boog falls madly in love with Ursa, a female grizzly bear who was born in Russia and can effortlessly walk on a tightrope, juggle, and dance (which Boog finds to be 'bearvana') and was annoyed by Doug's mean, self-centered and lazy attitude before he left. Doug does not keep the promise and poses as Boog to slave the forest animals, causing Alistair to reveal his plan to Boog back in the circus.

Doug then tricks Boog into switching places, promising to his Argentinian camelid best friend Alistair that he will come back to bring him to the forest. He craves recognition as a full-fledged king of the forest, the ruler of the wildlife. While there, Boog meets Doug, a lazy, self-centered, mean, scruffy grizzly bear who is unable to perform circus tricks and is tired of performing in the circus on the sidelines. Boog is disappointed that everyone else wants to spend time with their families (especially since he does not have a mate of his own), which causes him to go on the guys trip by himself with his childhood plush toy, Dinkleman however, this soon leads him to a Russian traveling circus called the Maslova Family Circus. They are now the parents of three children: Gisela, Giselita, and Elvis (with Boog now being the honorary uncle). Unfortunately, Elliot has distanced himself from Boog since he had started a family with Giselle. One spring morning 2 years after the events of the previous film, Boog awakens after hibernation and plans an annual guys' trip to spend time with his male best friends.
