The Kodiak bear is the largest recognized subspecies or population of the brown bear. Furthermore, along with the mighty polar bear, it is one of the two largest bear species alive today. The weight of females (sows) is between 181 and 318 kg (399 to 701 lb), and males (boars) can be from 272 to 635 kg (600 to 1,400 lb). The largest recorded wild m...
Polar bears are classified as marine mammals rather than terrestrial (land-living) mammals because of their dependency on sea ice. This classification makes the Kodiak bear the largest terrestrial carnivore in the world.
Some experts do not accept them as different species – Kodiak bears are just grizzly bears living on Kodiak island, according to them. Some scientists, on the other hand, think that Kodiak bears (Ursus arctos middendorffi) and grizzlies (Ursus arctos horribilis) are part of the same species of brown bear, though they are different enough to constit...
Genetic analyses show that the Kodiak bear is related to brown bears both on the Alaska Peninsula and Kamchatka peninsulain far eastern Russia. The Kamchatka brown bear is almost as big as the Kodiak bear. However, the analysis also suggests that the Kodiak bears have been genetically isolated since the last ice age, which means for at least 10,000...
Hair colors of Kodiak bears range from blonde to orange to dark brown. Cubs often retain a white “natal ring” around their neck for the first few years of life.
In the wild, they live around 20-25. The oldest recorded male (boar) in the wild was 27 and the oldest female (sow) was 35. They reach sexual maturity around age 5, but most females (sows) are over 9 years old when they successfully give birth. Cubs leave their mothers when they are around 3-5 years old, but their survivability rate is not great: o...
They are generally solitary in nature, like other bears and predators. But, since they live in a relatively small and isolated area, they can create large dense groups in areas that are rich in food. Because of this, they are more social than other bears and, according to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, they have developed a complex languag...
Kodiak bears are usually diurnal, which means they are active during the day. But, if they face competition for food or space, they can adopt a more nocturnal (active at night) lifestyle.
Despite its massive size and reputation as a fierce predator, the Kodiak bear is generally an opportunist and will eat a large variety of plant and animal species. But, like pandas, they have the digestive system of a carnivore, so they are classified as Carnivora, despite plants making up a large portion of their diet.
Despite their huge size, Kodiak bears are not very territorial and they usually do not defend their territories as aggressively as grizzly bears. This is probably due to two main reasons: 1. They live in a small area, so their territory overlaps, and 2. Food is abundant where they live.

Kodiak bears (Ursus arctos middendorffi) live on Kodiak Island or one of the nearby islands off the coast of southwestern Alaska. These bears can be nearly as large as polar bears (Ursus maritimus) and include the largest brown bears (Ursus arctos) on record.
