Keen Smell. The bear has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on smell.

Description

Crying bears are highly intelligent. They are highly evolved omnivores but have adapted to a more carnivorous protein-rich diet using their crying lure. They survive almost exclusively using guile and surprise with most prey being scavenger beasts. They are not naturally aggressive to humanoids but will attack immediately any creature which responds to their crying lure.
