What was the lifespan of a bear in captivity under a bear-leader?

Bears in captivity, particularly those trained by bear-leaders, typically had a lifespan of 20 to 30 years, depending on species and care. In contrast, wild bears often live shorter lives due to environmental hazards and competition. Captivity provided a controlled environment, leading to better health and longevity, although the quality of care significantly influenced their lifespan.
