Some unique skills by udyr players are 'sidestepping' & counter-jungling.

Sidestepping - Sidestepping is a skill where players move in a zig-zag motion in order to dodge skill shots and CCs. This can be the escape mechanism as the player can dodge CCs and prevent them from getting locked-down.

Counter-Jungling - Counter-Jungling can be the way to cripple the enemies' jungler. By preventing them from getting their buffs, their leveling is also slowed down and also further prevents them from ganking your lanes so on and so forth. Counter-Jungling can be very dangerous also as you may get caught in the enemies' jungle and you yourself would get crippled. So, be cautious when you are counter-jungling. I advice you to prevent counter-jungling champions like Lee Sin as Lee Sin is a very strong 1v1 & early game champion.
