carebears

right, the carebears have been living in carealot for, well, forever, many a generation, yet have never been down the river in their boat, and what did they use the boat for and why did they never go down it? and why are there like, 30 bears and only one of each randomly chosen animal in the forest? what kind of forest would have a penguin, a lion, a racoon, a cat, a dog, a pig, a rabbit, a lamb and an elephant? and why is their a grandma bear? who is she mother to? all of them? where are their parents? and if shes looking after the babies? who are their parents?
