Size
Brown bears are one of the biggest carnivores. Adult males are larger than females. They can weigh over 1,000 pounds and be 9 feet long from nose to tail. |
Habitat and range
They can be found in widely varied habitats, from high mountain forests to tundra to coastlines to desert edges. Much less widespread today, they now live in Western Canada, Alaska, and northwestern US states as well as in parts of Russia, Europe, and Asia. |

Most brown bears are dark brown, but some have cream-colored, almost black, or white-tipped brown fur. On top of their shoulders sits a large hump of muscle. Amazingly, females usually give birth while hibernating during the winter months. |
