This clue might be a double definition.

'bears' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both animals as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'baby elephants?' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both animals as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'or' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for calves that I've seen before include "features of legs" , "Young cows" , "Young domestic cattle" , "Backs of legs" , "Small and neat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
