Russian brown bear
The Russian brown bear, scientifically known as Ursus arctos, is a large mammal found mainly in forests and mountainous regions across Russia and parts of Eastern Europe. These bears are known for their distinctive brown fur and massive size, with adult males weighing up to 1,500 pounds. They are omnivorous, feeding on plants, fruits, fish, and small animals. Russian brown bears are solitary creatures, except during mating season or when mothers are caring for cubs. They hibernate during the winter, creating dens where they sleep for months. These bears symbolize wilderness and strength in Russian culture and folklore.
