A Tibetan blue bear looks like a scaled down version of the Ussuri brown bear, the Himalayan brown bear looks like a scaled down version of the Eurasian brown bear, and the barren ground grizzly bear looks like the scaled down version of the interior grizzly bear.

- Male kodiak and polar bear defeats all big cats both extinct and extant overall.
- Male kodiak, other huge male brown bears, and polar bear beats male smilodon populator, Eurasian cave lion, and American lion at weight parity.
- Male extinct cats beats female kodiak and polar bears at weight parity.
- Male brown bear defeats all extant big cats both at average weight and weight parity.
- Extant tigers and lions can bear female brown bears at weight parity.

The Arctic and the North Pole is considered brown bear territory since the polar bear owes its existence to the brown bear.

/\ I understand where you are coming for but barren ground grizzlies have entered the tundra and brown bears on ABC island were once polar bears turn to brown bears. Therefore, I believe ABC island is also polar bear territory.

Most male brown bears are on average heavier than both tigers and lions.

There are some topic questions not easily answered - highly debatable. In some of these I have been back-and-forth like a ping-pong ball. One such topic is the big cat vs bear at weight-parity. The whole idea of a weight-parity fight is to give each animal a "fair chance" of a victory. In any weight-parity face-off between big cat and bear, I would wager on the bear ( but not by much ). In reality, the cat is given the size advantage here - taller, longer, and a greater reach. Nevertheless, from several videos watched over the course of time, common sense, that which you might imagine, does not always hold true. From my observations, a big cat has a difficult time even with a bear smaller than himself. I am therefore rethinking my previous 50-50 view of this parity match-up. In the Russian taiga, the male Amur tiger and the female Ussuri brown bear are very near to weight-parity. Therefore ( IMO ) in a face-off to the death: Male Amur tiger vs Ussuri she-bear - 6 out of 10 for the bear.

The Ussuri brown bear has the least developed shoulder hump of all brown bear subspecies - according to the picture comparisons posted by Taker.

The cave bear would be one of the most adaptable bears if it was alive today like the brown bear.

The cave bear would be one of the most adaptable bears if it was alive today like the brown bear. I don't think so. During the Pleistocene, the brown bear spread from Asia into N. Africa, Europe, and into N. America. The cave bear lived only in Europe.

/\ In that case it is not surprising if the European brown bear is the most cave bear like of all bears.

A bold statement: I believe polar bears came into existence during younger days when some brown bears were seperated from their kin by ice.

I believe that short faced bears should be brought back to live.

When someone asks me, "Can you prove that a brown bear is stronger than a lion or a tiger?" *I'm like, "Must I prove that a Mammoth is stronger than a Hamster?"

A pregnant female polar bear has the highest percentage of fat out of all polar bears. Most polar bears have 10 to 20 percent of fat.
