Bear grass (Nolina or Xerophyllum species) is mildly to moderately toxic to pets like cats and dogs, and can be dangerous to livestock if ingested in large quantities.

Indian basket grass, scientifically known as Xerophyllum tenax and commonly called bear grass, is a tough, grass-like perennial plant native to western North America.

Despite its common name, it is not a true grass. It belongs to the corn lily family.
