Range: Named for the Ussuri River in the far east of Russia. Central and eastern Asia; specifically Southern Siberia, northeastern China and the Korean peninsula. Mountains of North and South Korea. Divided from the central Chinese population of U. thibetanus for several thousand years by human presence, accompanying land-use and poaching for gall bladders.   |

The Ussuri black bear (Ursus thibetanus ussuricus), also known as the Manchurian black bear, is a large subspecies of the Asian black bear native to the Far East, including the Korean Peninsula. The subspecies is named after the Ussuri River. Sympatric predators include the Ussuri brown bear and Siberian tiger. There are no brown bears in Korea. Up until 100 years ago, there were tigers. bigcatrescue.org/tigers-of-korea-100-years-ago/ |

After all, bear subspecies are a bit confusing. |

The information on animal weight is often an essential component of wildlife management and research. However, it may be difficult to obtain direct scale weights from the free-ranging large animals when equipment needed to weigh the animals are inadequate or unavailable. In these cases, body weight can be estimated by morphometric equation. We investigated body mass and size (16 body parts) of reintroduced Asiatic black bears (Ursus thibetanus; ABB) and their offsprings (28 males and 24 females, age 7 months − 12 years) between 2005 and 2013. Mean body weight of adult females and males in September − December were 132.2 ± 11.8 and 166.6 ± 7.2 kg, respectively, which was higher than those in April − August (103.8 ± 5.6 and 141.7 ± 6.3 kg, respectively)

The weight data of some Korean black bears in the above paper, especially four big black bears weighing between 200 and 250kg. I didn't send and download the complete paper, I don't know the details. Attachments:

I didn't send and download the complete paper, I don't know the details. 250 kilograms is equal to 551.16 pounds which is heavier than any bear ever confirmed killed by a tiger.  |
