Introducing WikiBear, the Siri of Stuffed Animals
The WikiBear uses the Internet to answer your questions.

NEW YORK -- If Teddy Ruxpin and Siri had a stuffed animal baby, it would be the WikiBear.

The WikiBear is a know-it-all toy that can crack jokes, tell you the weather, update you on which team won last night's hockey game or remind you who the 15th President of the United States was. The bear is on display this week at the 2014 International American Toy Fair, and answers your questions by searching the web.

He has a personality, too. He'll remember names, share his interests (and his favorite color) and develop a relationship with the owner. The more you play with it, the more it gets to know your personality too.

The bear syncs to your mobile device via Bluetooth and a WikiBear app. The app searches the web for the answers to questions you ask. It uses filters to make sure questions and answers are kid-friendly.

The voice in the video above will get an update before its September launch, a spokesperson told Mashable. Developers are working on a more kid-friendly, less robotic voice. It will cost about $60.
