Recent change to bear model

Did anyone notice that recently the bear model changed. Their mouths are now closed. This includes Druid bear form, npc beast bears, and even Arcturis the spirit beast.
Personally I think they looked more menacing when they had their mouths open all the time. Now they just have a big toothy grin
Perhaps those pesky druids are responsible for this?

I like it! They may still have dental issues, but at least they're not mouth-breathers anymore.

It's not in the Beta. It's a Live change. Bears open their mouths when they run, and close them when they're not roaring/running.

Oh. Very subtle change. I wouldn't have even noticed that.

I think they have been.
Been like that before I tamed my Arc, and that was months ago.

It's a new change. My Arc used to be a huge mouth breather.

Even looking back at my old screenshots I see my bear and Arcturis with a closed mouth. xD So, it's been around for a while.

Yeah this is why I posted this. As far as I can remember, mine had an open mouth. Not until this last weekend when we were laughing at our druid bear tank eating did I notice his mouth was closed most of the time. Then looked at my pet and saw the same. If its been around for months, I guess I just overlooked it

I had Arcturis a long time ago, and my very first screenshots of him after the tame have the closed mouth.

I could swear they've been like this since at least WotLK release--that when the new riding bear models and the new druid forms were brought out, they all had closed mouths. Tbh, I don't remember them ever having open ones, bar druid forms

I...Never...Noticed...!
I have noted that Druid forms and Bear mounts have one extra claw than pet bears.
