Inheritance related errors

Hey guys, could someone point out to me what's wrong with my code. I've been looking at it for a while and I see no fault.

class animal {
public:
	animal() {
		cout << "An animal is in da house.\n";
	}
	virtual void Roar();
};

void animal::Roar() {
	cout << "*insert roar*\n";
}

class bear : public animal {
	bear() : animal() {
		cout << "A bear is in da air";
	}
	void Roar();
};

void bear::Roar() {
	cout << "GRRRRR!\n";
}

void letsRoar(animal * someAni) {
	someAni->Roar();
}

int main() {
	bear grizzly;

	animal * PointBearer = &grizzly;

	letsRoar(PointBearer);

	return 0;
}

Output from visual studio

Ooops. Got it.

class bear : public animal {
public: // missing
	bear() : animal() {
		cout << "A bear is in da air";
	}
	void Roar();
};

You can't construct a bear because the constructor is private (which makes it inaccessible in main.)

Make it public.
