The brown bear (Ursus arctos) is a species of bear that lives in forested habitats of North America and Eurasia. It is one of the largest carnivorans after its closest relative, the polar bear. It measures 70 to 153 cm in height, and weighs between 80 to 600 kg. While it is carnivorous, the diet of the brown bear consists of 90% of plants. When hunting, they will target insects to large mammals like moose. They also feed on carrion, using their size to intimidate other predators such as wolves, cougars, tigers, and American black bears. In parts of coastal Alaska, brown bears feed predominantly on spawning salmons that come near shore to lay their eggs. They are solitary animals, with their large brain allowing high cognitive abilities such as tool use. Females give birth to one or three cubs that remain with their mother for 1.5 to 4.5 years. Attacks on humans are generally rare.
There are 20 subspecies of brown bears, with 4 being extinct. This includes the grizzly bear (Ursus arctos horribilis), which lives in North America, and the Kodiak bear (Ursus arctos middendorffi), which lives in Alaska. Hybrids between brown and polar bears, as well as black bears, also exist.
