dens

'bears' lairs' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for dens that I've seen before include "Man's" , "Lairs" , "Habitats of some wild animals" , "Studies" , "Habitations of wild animals" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal, The Star Tribune, the King Feature Syndicate, the USA Today, the Universal and the Newsday.
