In this sentence we have Genitive case (Родительный падеж)Я увидел Кого?-медведей.So,we put the word медведи into Genetive.And the numeral two in Genetive will be - двух.English Genetive case differs from Russian one.In English you just have to put ' or 'of' to show possession.But in Russian,whenever the word answers the questions 'Кого?Что?,it's the high time to use it)))

Ahhhh yes I forgot that медведь is одушевлённое слово. Thanks for the correction!

The reason I made this sentence is to internalize the plural forms of masculine words ending in -ь, so I made a new sentence for that here: https://rhinospike.com/audio_requests/hoelzro/40843/
