My uncle had worked around wild bears for over 30 as a tracker/guide all over Alaska and Canada, the only species he was afraid of was polar bears. He always said the only animal he ever encountered that showed no hint of compassion was the polar bear. He got bluff charged by a Kodiak on Afognak Island once and even that didn't shake him up as much as the time a polar bear started swimming after the small fishing boat him and his friend were in at the time. Said it felt like a real life version of the movie Jaws.
Never even knew that Polar Bears claws were so short compared to a Kodiak. Crazy the differences are between how they are built and for what purposes their tools are used for.
Ever see how a Kodiak catches salmon with is claws ? It literally hooks the fish in it's claws cause they are long and sharp one swipe and it will go right into the fish and hook it otherwise the fish would get away!
@@Ntwadumela89 I’m 21 living in Alaska, I’ve been living in Alaska my whole life and I haven’t been approached by a bear on foot before but I have seen plenty of bears in my life while driving. Black bears are the most common, then brown bears
You forgot to mention the greatest Kodiak ever recorded weighed an astonishing 2,400 pounds (Clyde the bear at the Dakota zoo) which is the weight of a car
That wild Polar bear they talked about was shot in the wild in Alaska. It was a freaking monster Polar Bear!! It weighed 2,209 lbs and stood at almost 12 feet tall!
So we going based of the logic that with the possibly of a polar bear retreating from the battlefield to a Kodiak, that means he would therefore lose the battle… Now that’s ridiculous. The much bigger and superior polar bear would win likely due to its size if the confrontation were to actually take place instead of a winner being crown due to “forfeit.”
Yeah and a grizzly can easily overturn and push around a 1000lb dumpster with ease. I imagine a Kodiak Grizzly would definitely make light work of something even heavier, My EX!!

Lol. Anything can happen when you have two killers. Tigers are the best fighting land animals however. Straight killing machines. I saw a Tiger best a Grizzly so my bets always on the male Tiger. The speed, jumping ability, stealth ability is unmatched and they’re just as strong as the strongest bears and have the most battle hours experience.
@@larrytate1657 The biggest tiger is no where near as strong as the biggest/strongest bear. The biggest grizzly and biggest polar bear both weigh over 2200 pounds. The biggest tiger is only 850 pounds. Also the bear has 5+ inch claws
The Kodiak bear (Ursus arctos middendorffi) is much like other brown bears in intelligence, although its tendency to feed in large dense groups leads to more complex social behaviors. Kodiak bears are generally solitary in nature; however, when food is concentrated in small areas, such as along salmon spawning streams, grass/sedge flats, berry patches, a dead whale, or even an open garbage dump, they often occur in large groups. Along a few streams on Kodiak, up to 60 bears can be seen simultaneously in a 2.6 km² (1.0 sq mi) area. To maximize food intake at these ecologically important areas, bears have learned to minimize fighting and fatal interactions by developing a complex communication (both verbal and body posturing) and social structure.
He definitely is glazing for polar bear and he doesn't want to admit that the polar bears want no parts of the Kodiak bear because it's afraid of the grizzly bear 🤣
Well, Kodiak Bears are similar to Grizzly Bears, and Grizzly Bears win fights against Polar Bears more often than not. They appear to not be truly a different species, Pizzly's are becoming more common, a Polar Bear/Grizzly Bear hybrid, they are viable, and are currently developing a population of their own, slowly displacing the Polar Bear.
Kodiak wins, they weigh around the same (with the polar bear only weighing around 100 pounds more but the Kodiak has a bigger skull, so a bigger bite, it has bigger claws, it has a more robust body so I’d say Kodiak wins
I thought the whole point was to discuss who would actually win a fight physically should they actually decided to engage in one. Not just say one would walk away so therefore would lose.
Well, due to the fact that Polar Bears are scared of Grizzlies, I think that they’d get absolutely smashed by a Kodiak. Yes, it would be a bit difficult, but considering the fact that they are the same size and the Kodiak has up to 6 inch claws (compared to Polar Bears which can grow up to 3.5 inch long claws), the Polar Bear would probably become a raspberry flavour slush puppy.
@@PillocksAnimationCentre polar bears are bigger than kodiak bears They also have a stronger bite And not fighting does not mean that you would not win if it came down to a fight Grizzlies sometimes run away from wolverines That doesnt mean that they would get beaten if they would fight them Polar bears would probably win

@@PillocksAnimationCentre I also forgot to mention that polar bears will kill and eat other polar bears when hungry so they probably know how to take down a bear better than a Kodiak
Depends on the Bear. Some bears can be more aggressive, and some would just like to flee. If it were 2 similar sized bears, and both dominant personalities. It would be a 50/50 fight.

I disagree. The Polar bear is more fatty than the muscular Kodiak bear. Stamina is subjective to the individual, but power and strength is on the side of the massive Kodiak.
Polar bear have been known to kill grizzled. They have in fact incredible stamina. Some walk and swim hundreds of miles in a very short time. Anything known to kill small whales and pull them ashore isn't likely to back down from anything. The other consideration is that the known encounters have been between grizzlies and juvenile males or female polar bear. The largest males would have no need to roam South. Polar bear also spar in a test to see the strongest males therefore theoretically are more likely to have experience in fighting other large bears. I differ in opinion on the outcome.
Polar bears are definitely strong and definitely less lazy they go after seals and I seen the pull whales out of the water on videos I agree they would win
Polar bears have not been known to kill grizzlies. It’s the opposite. A polar bear has killed a grizzly on average of once or twice. While grizzlies have killed many females and scared away many male polar bears. Don’t tell people facts that aren’t true. It’s annoying.
@@skillerzhdEDITS yes exactly, polar bears tend to be bigger on average and they are better hunters, since their diet is almost 100% meat. If it's a frontal attack (head to head fight) it depends on both bears i.e. sizes, temper, stamina etc. But the polar bear can find effective ways to kill the kodiak, which the kodiak isn't as capable of doing.
@@tjtheadvocate the one scared are polar bears who are not in their comfort zone weak males or females lets not forget strong males don't migrate cuz they don't need too lets put the grizzlies and kodiak on polar bears strong territories where the strong males are lol
@Craig Dendy polar bears are literally evolved Kodiak bears even genetic studies show that , plus ur statement has no claims or sources whatsoever infact they have stronger arms if u imoly logic due to the fact that they are profound swimmers and have larger front limb to body ratio than other bears having largest paws aswell among them , they also have the strongest bute force sharing with kodiaks plus unlike kodiaks they're more maneuverable kodiaks are big chunks of meat , they are like gorillas but apart from the fact.that their potential is low , polar bear easily is the strongest bear they lack the dominant aspect which might make them flee but if it's hungry or is in its mating stage it'll devour most bears
I support for Kodak bear as it is faster and just slightly smaller than a polar Bear. In fact the polar bear swims better than Kodiak bears. In fact I support both the bear species 🐻
@Richard Chookomolin kodiak bears on average are larger than polar bears, plus they have a larger jaw, larger paws, they have more fur so it would be hard to get to the skin, and definitely more aggressive
What if they would meet in polar bear comfort zone , low tempeture , cold water , ice , brown bear will also fleet . Polar bears are very strong animals .
Depends on where, and when they are fighting. If it's during the summer the Kodiak would win easily, if it's futher up north in the winter the Kodiak bear is going to have a hard time fighting the polar bear.
Some brown bears, particularly when small, have this distinctly upturned nose and muzzle. Some other brown bears, usually full grown, have a silly looking lower lip that makes them almost comical in appearance. I don't know if these characteristics are in common between both subspecies, or if they can be used to differentiate the two.
there are some misconceptions here. Kodiak and Grizzly bears are subspecies of the brown bear. Polar and Brown bears are very closely related genetically.
Yes, Polar bears evolved from Brown Bears a couple million years ago so they are considered their own species at this point. Grizzly bears and Kodiak Bears evolved from Brown bears as recently as 100 thousand years ago and for Kodiak bears case, as recently as 10 - 15 thousand years ago, so they are still only a sub-species.
@@razatiger22 Unfortunately our definition of species doesn't always account for reality. There are occasional fertile hybrids of Brown Bears and Polar Bears in the Canadian Arctic when their territories overlap.
@@thomasmitchell828 Just because they evolved into a completely new species, doesn't mean they aren't in no way genetically related anymore. Lions can still produce offspring with Tigers even though they have been genetically seperated for presumably millions of years now. Humans were also able to breed with Neanderthals which a large portion of humans today still carry their DNA. Its no different for Polar bears or Grizzly's, even though they are completely separate species at this point.
@@el34glo59 Well thats what happens in extreme isolation. They are still almost 100% genetically Brown bears but their rich diet and total isolation from other predators has allowed them to evolve into absolute monsters.
He can be biased at times but still has a good amount of accurate and good vids and a nice variety of videos if u want the most accurate channels I would recommend creature challenge and wild viral
same comment for you Orwell...: I am an Inuit - we have seen these battles before - hence the saying "IF ITS BLACK ATTACK, IT ITS BROWN STAY DOWN, IF ITS WHITE GOODNIGHT" . Kodiak or Brown has NO CHANCE- for one thing any other bear will never see the GREAT WHITE BEAR 1
This information is generic some Kodiack bears in Alaska have been known to be as large 12-13 feet tall and weigh around 1,000 to 2,500 pounds depending on age and diet. The same goes for polar bears
Polar bears have small claws compared to Kodiak bear (not to be confused with the Kodak bear who are excellent photographers), even a grizzly bear’s have larger claws than a polar bear. But the polar bear is the strongest bear hands down who hit whales when they come up for air, stun/KO them then jump into the water and pull the whales out of the water onto the ice and eat them alive! Now that’s cold man (excuse the pun)
Here is an analasis: (Keep in mind i both like polar and kodiak Bears) Arm strength: The one with the strongest forelimbs have to be the Kodiak bear all Brown Bears have a hump on their back wich is pure muscle connected to the arms very usefull for digging but maybe also for fighting Bite: The polar bear and Brown bear has the same biteforce (1200 psi) but the Brown bear has a wider skull able to use the biteforce more effectively it also has a Much larger head at 78cm where the polar bear only has a head length of around 40cm but this is not that Big of a difference as they still have the same biteforce Protection: both Bears have thick fat layers but the difference is in fur polar Bears have shorter but thicker fur while Brown Bears have longer fur but not as thick fur so again about equal Size and body structure: polar Bears Can grow larger than kodiak Bears and could have a weight advantage but even though kodiak bears are smaller its not by that Much and polar Bears are slimmer Built so they could be more aerodynamic in the water where as kodiak Bears are sturdier and stronger built Aggression: im not quite sure on this one i Think grizzly Bears are more aggressive than both but i Think polar Bears and kodiak Bears have the same level of aggression Claws: kodiak bear have larger claws Winner: kodiak bear
you left out several important metrics: ENDURANCE: polar bears have much more endurance and that is easily one of the most important factors in any physical conflict! EXPERIENCE: as pure carnivores living in a hostile, barren environment, polar bears have to fight for every scrap of food and thus are forced to utilize their size, strength, and mental acuity on a daily basis! GRIT: well, i would bet that a polar bear would enter that fight with the express intent to consume his foe after the final bell rings...
Polar bears routinely hunt & eat whales (beluga & narwhal), as well as 2 ton walruses. I've seen footage of them hunting a pack of walruses, UNDERWATER, during one of their "long swims between ice-patches", and successfully catching 1; now THAT'S badass!
Thank you! You have brought me a very great deal of information. Thank you for the research, editorial work and photography you have shared with us. May God grant you long, happy, healthy and bear bite free lives. Respectfully, Michael Weeks, San Antonio.
kodiak bears seem like the kind of animal that would have been easy for people to kill off over the years, since they only live in one place. Its nice they weren't overhunted and are doing well.
It would depend on the size of the bear, the health of the bear, weather one has cubs or not. A female bear defending her cubs is the about the most dangerous animal in the wild. The polar bear might avoid a fight but a mother defending her cub is different, Also depends on how hungry it is.
I partly agree with you, a mother bear is absolutely ferocious and unpredictable but you can easily find videos all day long of male bears of all species going after and killing bear cubs whilst the mother runs away with what cub she has left
And usually isn't the mating a polar bear male rather than the other way around. It would indirectly indicate that the polar bear would be the more formidable of the two.
my first thought was that polar bears were much more used to animal conflict and fighting and would win. but those claw length differences are too much.
My first thought was polar bear, they're true predators and kill large marine mammals like Walrus and that's much more challenging than catching some salmon. The thing is Kodiak bears live much more densely, encounter each other much more often and regularly fight for river access. They're built to fight each other for dominance in a way polar bears are not. A large male Kodiak takes down a large male Polar bear, but in the less dominant females it may go to the polar bear huntress.
@@underthetrees4780 yes but male bears fight other male bears for dominance and sometimes right to mate with a female. There's no better challenge than that.
Kodiak bears are just a subspecies of grizzley bear that have been isolated in a certain area which enabled them to become very powerful (and also somewhat crowded) because of natural selection. Pizzley bears are a hybrid bear from a grizzly and polar bear of which some have been shown to actually not be sterile, which shows close enough genes to reproduce. Kodiak bears are basically grizzlies and polar bears are closely related, so any confrontation would be situational at best. They may actually end up mating which would be a scary beast on par with the short faced bear possibly. Polar bears are totally carnivores and Kodiak bears are omnivores means if you're meat, then polar bears will be more likely to attack, where anything is on the table for Kodiak bears if they are hungry. A hybrid polarkodiak bear sounds terrifying.
A hybrid of a polar bear and grizzly bear will produce an offspring comparable to a short faced bear? Where did you even get this information? Just because polar bears and grizzly bears are large doesn't automatically mean that their offspring will be even larger. That's not how genetics works. This ain't no fusion dance from Dragon Ball. For example, the offspring of a male tiger and female lion will produce a tigon, which is a lot smaller than both tigers and lions.
The "meat means more chance to get attacked" might be a fair description of other Bears, but this doesn't apply to Polar Bears. They don't give a fuck about the meat you carry; if they have you in their sights, you're basically a goner
I have crossed paths with Kodiaks 7 times. We both respected each others spaces. Polar bears don't give a shot.

Polar Bears will only attack you for predatory reasons if food is scarce. Most of the time they will try to look the other way when seeing you.

Polar bear have been known to kill grizzled. They have in fact incredible stamina. Some walk and swim hundreds of miles in a very short time. Anything known to kill small whales and pull them ashore isn't likely to back down from anything. The other consideration is that the known encounters have been between grizzlies and juvenile males or female polar bear. The largest males would have no need to roam South. Polar bear also spar in a test to see the strongest males therefore theoretically are more likely to have experience in fighting other large bears. I differ in opinion on the outcome.
Polar bears are definitely strong and definitely less lazy they go after seals and I seen the pull whales out of the water on videos I agree they would win
Polar bears have not been known to kill grizzlies. It’s the opposite. A polar bear has killed a grizzly on average of once or twice. While grizzlies have killed many females and scared away many male polar bears. Don’t tell people facts that aren’t true. It’s annoying.
Grizzly bears stamina is more massive than a polar bear.....their bone structure is more solid....they are more compact.
Imagine a Kodiak Bear scaled up to the size of Arctotherium.
Kodiak would win!
i disagree i think it could go either way
@@Rishi-qk2qp maybe🤷♂️ it also depends on the size of both and where the fight takes place
Nope Polar Bear Wins!
@@skillerzhdEDITS yes exactly, polar bears tend to be bigger on average and they are better hunters, since their diet is almost 100% meat. If it's a frontal attack (head to head fight) it depends on both bears i.e. sizes, temper, stamina etc. But the polar bear can find effective ways to kill the kodiak, which the kodiak isn't as capable of doing.
Animal Studios finally you’re right!
Watching the ending but reading the transcript was a joy. Thank you. 😊
According to biologists, the polar bears are longer, taller and heavier on average than kodiaks.
Yes but for some reason they are scared of grizzly and Kodiak bears.
@@tjtheadvocate they are not they are more aggressive
@@tjtheadvocate the one scared are polar bears who are not in their comfort zone weak males or females lets not forget strong males don't migrate cuz they don't need too lets put the grizzlies and kodiak on polar bears strong territories where the strong males are lol
@Craig Dendy polar bears are literally evolved Kodiak bears even genetic studies show that , plus ur statement has no claims or sources whatsoever infact they have stronger arms if u imoly logic due to the fact that they are profound swimmers and have larger front limb to body ratio than other bears having largest paws aswell among them , they also have the strongest bute force sharing with kodiaks plus unlike kodiaks they're more maneuverable kodiaks are big chunks of meat , they are like gorillas but apart from the fact.that their potential is low , polar bear easily is the strongest bear they lack the dominant aspect which might make them flee but if it's hungry or is in its mating stage it'll devour most bears
@Craig Dendy and what was the source of the vid ?
I support for Kodak bear as it is faster and just slightly smaller than a polar Bear. In fact the polar bear swims better than Kodiak bears. In fact I support both the bear species 🐻

Depends on where, and when they are fighting. If it's during the summer the Kodiak would win easily, if it's futher up north in the winter the Kodiak bear is going to have a hard time fighting the polar bear.
I agree,,,
No really when there from the upper atmosphere
aye. And what about a fight in the water?
Which one needs to hibernate ?
I doubt that it has any trouble. They're from the cold
Some brown bears, particularly when small, have this distinctly upturned nose and muzzle. Some other brown bears, usually full grown, have a silly looking lower lip that makes them almost comical in appearance. I don't know if these characteristics are in common between both subspecies, or if they can be used to differentiate the two.
Don't let em hear yu
Didn't know that polar bears are terrified of Grizzlies.
Would love to see a video comparing Grolars to both parents
Wow, I didn't expect such a decisive win.
Kodiak 100% Polars may be bigger, but the brown bears can be super aggressive towards other bears.
in a fight between two animals with similar build. strength and weapons ... the winner will most likely be the more aggressive.
Nick Couture they are, it’s because they have way more food than other bears such as the grizzly or polar.
Nick Couture yep, kodiaks are probably not even bothered by humans because why use the effort to kill a human when they have a bunch of fish👍
which would be polar bears

there are some misconceptions here. Kodiak and Grizzly bears are subspecies of the brown bear. Polar and Brown bears are very closely related genetically.
Yes, Polar bears evolved from Brown Bears a couple million years ago so they are considered their own species at this point. Grizzly bears and Kodiak Bears evolved from Brown bears as recently as 100 thousand years ago and for Kodiak bears case, as recently as 10 - 15 thousand years ago, so they are still only a sub-species.
@@razatiger22 Unfortunately our definition of species doesn't always account for reality. There are occasional fertile hybrids of Brown Bears and Polar Bears in the Canadian Arctic when their territories overlap.
@@thomasmitchell828 Just because they evolved into a completely new species, doesn't mean they aren't in no way genetically related anymore.
Lions can still produce offspring with Tigers even though they have been genetically seperated for presumably millions of years now.
Humans were also able to breed with Neanderthals which a large portion of humans today still carry their DNA.
Its no different for Polar bears or Grizzly's, even though they are completely separate species at this point.
@@razatiger22Kodiaks evolved in 10k years? Wtf that seems extremely fast
@@el34glo59 Well thats what happens in extreme isolation. They are still almost 100% genetically Brown bears but their rich diet and total isolation from other predators has allowed them to evolve into absolute monsters.
"This is the distinct Way to tell Kodiak Brown Bear apart from Grizzly Bear" !! Really?? They are Both Grizzly Bear!!
Kodiak is a type of Grizzly. Sub species
2:33 the bear at the right looks like :3
There's a video of polar bears running away when a grizzly comes near, that sums it up.
People always think its whos bigger. The temperament of the animal plays a role too. Grizzlies are the baddest bears in the world.

This information is generic some Kodiack bears in Alaska have been known to be as large 12-13 feet tall and weigh around 1,000 to 2,500 pounds depending on age and diet. The same goes for polar bears
Polar bears have small claws compared to Kodiak bear (not to be confused with the Kodak bear who are excellent photographers), even a grizzly bear’s have larger claws than a polar bear. But the polar bear is the strongest bear hands down who hit whales when they come up for air, stun/KO them then jump into the water and pull the whales out of the water onto the ice and eat them alive! Now that’s cold man (excuse the pun)
Here is an analasis:
(Keep in mind i both like polar and kodiak Bears)
Arm strength:
The one with the strongest forelimbs have to be the Kodiak bear all Brown Bears have a hump on their back wich is pure muscle connected to the arms very usefull for digging but maybe also for fighting
Bite:
The polar bear and Brown bear has the same biteforce (1200 psi) but the Brown bear has a wider skull able to use the biteforce more effectively it also has a Much larger head at 78cm where the polar bear only has a head length of around 40cm but this is not that Big of a difference as they still have the same biteforce
Protection:
both Bears have thick fat layers but the difference is in fur polar Bears have shorter but thicker fur while Brown Bears have longer fur but not as thick fur so again about equal
Size and body structure:
polar Bears Can grow larger than kodiak Bears and could have a weight advantage but even though kodiak bears are smaller its not by that Much and polar Bears are slimmer Built so they could be more aerodynamic in the water where as kodiak Bears are sturdier and stronger built
Aggression:
im not quite sure on this one i Think grizzly Bears are more aggressive than both but i Think polar Bears and kodiak Bears have the same level of aggression
Claws: kodiak bear have larger claws
Winner: kodiak bear
Polar bear hunts seals and walruses while kodiak bear is eating berries and salmon. I would think twice for picking Kodiak bear as a winner.
you left out several important metrics:
ENDURANCE: polar bears have much more endurance and that is easily one of the most important factors in any physical conflict!
EXPERIENCE: as pure carnivores living in a hostile, barren environment, polar bears have to fight for every scrap of food and thus are forced to utilize their size, strength, and mental acuity on a daily basis!
GRIT: well, i would bet that a polar bear would enter that fight with the express intent to consume his foe after the final bell rings...
@Kevin hunting for prey and fighting a kodiak bear is very different
I LOVE THIS NARRATORS ACCENT AND SOUND
Polar Bears also try to eat walrus if they get desperate, which is the animal that you showed in the picture when you said "seals."
Walruses are a type of seal
@@spiritvtechreviews5294 yes but much larger and deadlier
Polar bears routinely hunt & eat whales (beluga & narwhal), as well as 2 ton walruses. I've seen footage of them hunting a pack of walruses, UNDERWATER, during one of their "long swims between ice-patches", and successfully catching 1; now THAT'S badass!
They only hunt walrus when they are desperate for food, and almost always loose to them.
BS.

@@antonysindhu what? No it isn't...
It would depend on the size of the bear, the health of the bear, weather one has cubs or not. A female bear defending her cubs is the about the most dangerous animal in the wild. The polar bear might avoid a fight but a mother defending her cub is different, Also depends on how hungry it is.
I partly agree with you, a mother bear is absolutely ferocious and unpredictable but you can easily find videos all day long of male bears of all species going after and killing bear cubs whilst the mother runs away with what cub she has left
Yup, mother bear are brave and will defend cubs, but just because shes super brave doesn't mean she has a chance against a big male.

my first thought was that polar bears were much more used to animal conflict and fighting and would win. but those claw length differences are too much.
My first thought was polar bear, they're true predators and kill large marine mammals like Walrus and that's much more challenging than catching some salmon.
The thing is Kodiak bears live much more densely, encounter each other much more often and regularly fight for river access. They're built to fight each other for dominance in a way polar bears are not. A large male Kodiak takes down a large male Polar bear, but in the less dominant females it may go to the polar bear huntress.
@@underthetrees4780 yes but male bears fight other male bears for dominance and sometimes right to mate with a female. There's no better challenge than that.

These animals are cool.
Kodiak bears are just a subspecies of grizzley bear that have been isolated in a certain area which enabled them to become very powerful (and also somewhat crowded) because of natural selection. Pizzley bears are a hybrid bear from a grizzly and polar bear of which some have been shown to actually not be sterile, which shows close enough genes to reproduce. Kodiak bears are basically grizzlies and polar bears are closely related, so any confrontation would be situational at best. They may actually end up mating which would be a scary beast on par with the short faced bear possibly. Polar bears are totally carnivores and Kodiak bears are omnivores means if you're meat, then polar bears will be more likely to attack, where anything is on the table for Kodiak bears if they are hungry. A hybrid polarkodiak bear sounds terrifying.
Actually grizzlies and kodiaks are subspecies of brown bears.
Polar bears are also omnivores
A hybrid of a polar bear and grizzly bear will produce an offspring comparable to a short faced bear? Where did you even get this information? Just because polar bears and grizzly bears are large doesn't automatically mean that their offspring will be even larger. That's not how genetics works. This ain't no fusion dance from Dragon Ball. For example, the offspring of a male tiger and female lion will produce a tigon, which is a lot smaller than both tigers and lions.
@@ComancheWarrior63 no
The "meat means more chance to get attacked" might be a fair description of other Bears, but this doesn't apply to Polar Bears. They don't give a fuck about the meat you carry; if they have you in their sights, you're basically a goner
Male kodiak bears- 800-1,400 LBS (362-635 KG).
Female kodiak bears- 500-700 LBS (226-317 KG).
That is a HUGE difference in size.
same with polar bear genders
The great question. Watching from Scotland peace and love to
Well, sometimes polar bears flee from grizzlies. Then again, sometimes they get intimate and make grolars.
