Image # A58-203; The brown bear is distributed across much of North America. It can weigh up to1,500 pounds and its the largest of the land flesh-eating mammal. While the brown bear's range has shrunk, it remains listed with a total world-wide population of 200,000 or more. Brown bears have furry coats in shades of blonde, brown, black, or a combination of those colors. The longer outer guard hairs of the brown bear are often tipped with white or silver, giving a "grizzled" appearance. Fish are a primary source of food, but it will also kill small mammals on land. Adult brown bears face no serious competition from other predators and can match wolf packs and large felines, often driving them off their kills.
