The teddy bear is one of the most favorite toys with children. Do you have a teddy bear or two in your room, too?
It is bad if you are compared to a bear with a sore head---you are thought to be a bad-tempered person.
“Taking the bear by the tooth” is equivalent to “putting one’s head into lion’s mouth”. Both idioms mean running into danger needlessly. When a boy walks along the back of a high and narrow wall just to show off, he is taking the bear by the tooth.
