There’s no backtracking away from the bear. You can get the solution with the abilities you have, but it’s a bit of a difficulty curve jump straight from yellow rabbit.
If anyone wants my opinion about the "smoothest" route learning mechanics wise, I suggest...
Orange Fox ▶ Yellow Rabbit ▶ Purple Squirrel ▶ Red Bear ▶ Green Deer ▶ Cyan Otter ▶ Blue Owl
My first run, I wound up missing orange fox and going straight to yellow squirrel to red bear to cyan otter. I would not recommend that.
