Good to know
Numerous forms of the brown bear have been described; they are treated as several subspecies of Ursus arctos. One subspecies, the Kodiak bear (U. arctos middendorffi), weighs up to 720 kg (1,600 pounds) and is often considered to be the world’s largest carnivore, a title it shares with the polar bear (U. maritimus), which grows to a similar size. Although North American brown bears are traditionally called grizzlies, this common name refers formally to the subspecies U. arctos horribilis, which is widespread across northwestern North America.
