Alaskan Brown Bear

The Alaskan Brown Bear is a large, powerful mammal native to Alaska, known for its strength and adaptability. It is a subspecies of the brown bear, with males weighing up to 1,500 pounds and measuring over 8 feet tall when standing. These bears inhabit forested regions and salmon-rich rivers, where they primarily feed on fish, berries, and small mammals. They play a vital role in their ecosystem, maintaining balance by controlling prey populations and spreading nutrients. Despite their size and strength, they generally avoid humans but can be dangerous if provoked or surprised.
