The scientific name for Kodiak Bear is Ursus arctos middendorffi.
Yes. The brown bear has many races, varying mainly in size. Today, many scientists call all brown bears "grizzlies", which is incorrect. The grizzly is a race of brown bear found inland across the northen parts of Canada and Alaska down to the lower 48 states.
No, according to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Kodiak bear populations are healthy and productive. The ADFG estimates the current population of wild Alaskan Kodiak Bears to be in the neighborhood of 3,500.
The Kodiak Bear (Ursus arctos middendorffi), or Alaskan Brown Bear, is the largest subspecies of the Brown Bear. The Kodiak Bear lives in southern Alaska, and is endangered. Kodiak Bears can grow to be 3.2 metres (10.5 feet) long and can weigh nearly 700 kilograms (over 1,500 lbs), and can eat just about anything in Alaska. When Kodiak Bears reproduce, the litters average about 3-6 cubs. The bears have a light-brown strip from the throat to their stomach. Unlike some bears, the Kodiak Bear does not live in caves. The Kodiak bear and the Polar Bear are the largest members of the bear family. [1] Though frequently referred to as the largest land carnivore, the Kodiak bear is actually an omnivore. [2] One famous Kodiak Bear that has appeared in films is Bart the Bear.
Canada has several types of bear - Polar Bears, Grizzly Bears and Black Bears. None of these are strictly limited to Canada.
They Live In Different Places. Kodiak Bears Live In Alaska. And Like The Name, They Live Mainly In Kodiak. The Gorilla However Lives In Africa, Mostly In Congo. But If They Met. I Would Bet My Money On The Bear, If It Avoids The Gorilla's Attacks. But If The Gorilla Would Be Able To Attack And Seriously Injure The Bear. Then, The Gorilla. If They Met, It Really Depends. I Like Gorillas Better Than Bears. But, If They Met, Yeah, A Gorilla Would Kill A Bear If The Gorilla Was Skillful.
The Kodiak bear (Ursus arctosmiddendorffi), also known as the Kodiak brown bear or the Alaskan grizzly bear or American brown bear, occupies the islands of the Kodiak Archipelago in South-Western Alaska. Its name in the Alutiiq language is Taquka-aq. It is the largest subspecies of brown bear.
It all depends on where the fight takes place and the size and health of either animal. If the fight is in an area where the ox and bear have no means of escape, then the ox will use every tool it has (horns, hooves, muscular power, etc.) to fight off that bear. The bear may be able to swat at the ox a few times, but this will only anger it. In a small enclosure, an ox with a set of horns and some very quick reflexes will be able to keep facing the bear and try to gore as much as possible. The bear is also fast on its feet and a swipe of it's paw to the ox's muzzle may help stun it enough so the bear can close in for a bite to the throat. If that happens, then the bear wins. But that bear may die soon after if the ox has scored a hit to the heart with those horns. In that case, there are no winners nor losers.
No gorilla can compete with a grizzly bear in terms of strength. Grizzlies, in addition to being 2-4 times heavier than a gorilla, are apex predators whose bodies are designed to provide them with the power to kill large prey animals and battle potential rivals. One swipe from their huge paws is enough to crush the spine of a bison or moose, and the animals have been observed to drag their prey over great distances before eating it. Although gorillas are the biggest and strongest of the extant primates and are quite formidable when compared to humans, their strength is no match for that of the North American grizzly bear.
Kodiak brown bears are at the top of the food chain. Like most bears, they will eat many kinds of foods, including, fish, berries and grasses, deer, elk, moose, honey (including the comb and larvae), termites, ants.
Yes and no. Koiaks are a very large breed of grizzly bear. All grizzlies are brown bears. Typically they do not climb trees, but can when smaller. Full grown Kodiak's do not climb.
According Gary Brown's Great Bear Almanac, the heaviest recorded modern (non-extinct) bear was a Kodiak Brown Bear that tipped the scales at an amazing 2,500+ pounds (1,134 kg)! For comparison, the heaviest Polar Bear weighed about 2,210 pounds (1,002 kg). As an added bonus, the largest bear of all time, the South American Giant Short-Faced Bear, weighed an astonishing 3,500 pounds (1,587 kg), with the leg bone of one specimen in the Smithsonian Institute comparing nicely with the corresponding bone in the skeleton of a juvenile elephant!
According to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Kodiak bears weigh an average of 500-700 pounds for females and 800-1,400 pounds for males. The largest modern bear ever recorded was a Kodiak that weighed in at a staggering 2,500 pounds.
Big males can weigh 1500 pounds or more and stand nearly nine feet tall.
Depends. Depends on the species, age and sex of the croc in question, and the age and weight of the Kodiak bear in question. Kodiaks are the second largest species of bear in the world (polar bears are the largest), so they may be able to be stronger than a small or medium-sized croc, but not against a large salt-water croc or Nile croc.
