The Largest Bear

(1/1)

sadia.ameen:
There is some debate about the largest bear in the world. Most experts say that the honor goes to the polar bear, which can weigh over 1,000 kilograms and stand up to 2.44 meters (eight feet) tall. However, some Kodiak bears (a subspecies of brown bear) can be significantly stockier than their arctic cousins: Certain specimens have been over three meters (10 ft) tall and weighed well over 1,134 kilograms. On average, though, the polar bears are larger.

Still, one bear used to be even bigger. The South American giant short-faced bear lived during the Pleistocene era. It stood 3.35 meters (11 feet) tall and weighed in at a massive 1,588 kilograms.
