I woke up wondering even more whether or not the bear in Shelter 2 is a black bear or brown bear than before I went to sleep, so I looked up the differences between black and brown bears. There's not a lot of evidence pointing one way or another on the bear in Shelter 2, but there appears to be a shoulder hump on the bear, which points to brown bears. Black bears don't have shoulder humps, while grizzlies do. I can't get a very close look on the ears, but black bears have bigger, longer, sharper ears than brown bears, while brown bears have short small round ears. So if anyone is able to get a good look at the bear's ears, let me know!

As for the bear cub in Paws & Meadow, bear cubs that smol don't appear to have shoulder humps based on pictures I looked at of brown bear cubs, so looking for that is out of the picture. However, the ears are indeed the same as adult bears. Based on the small round ears of the bear cub, I think the bear cub is a brown bear as well.
