Science Fiction - Bear - Capacity to imagine future events

[indexterslab]

Hi!

I remember reading a Sci-Fi book years ago. It had one paragraph in it describing how the Bear was the only animal apart from the humans which could visualize about future events and thus act accordingly in the present.

I would like to have info on the title and the author. I initially thought that it was some book by Carl Sagan or Arthur C Clarke. However, I was unable to trace the content to the books written by them.
