1749 tr. P. Collinson in Gentleman's Mag. Sept. 418/1 Who can believe that a bearess licks her cubs from a shapeless mass to a figurated form, resembling herself?

1840 T. Hood Miss Kilmansegg i, in New Monthly Mag. 60 93 Snips, and snaps, As if from a Tigress or Bearess.

1912 C. P. Gilman Mag-Marjorie in Forerunner Oct. 266/1 It's purely artificial—all this nonsense about female timidity. You don't see any timidity in a lioness, or a bear-ess.

1985 P. Shepard & B. Sanders Sacred Paw v. 114 The animal so driven was Callisto, the bearess.
