MONGOLIAN BROWN BEAR (URSUS ARCTOS JENISEENSIS) - a new one on me. Well, this bear is so rare that not even Wikipedia has a page on him. According to the site all the way at the top, the mean average weight for adult males is 300 kg (661 lbs), pretty large bear.

/\ It looks like a smaller version of the Ussuri brown bear.

/\ It looks like a smaller version of the Ussuri brown bear. Actually, in the first post, the average weight given is 300 kg (661 lbs). I dont know how accurate that would be. Not much more info on this bear.

Most likely the least studied brown bear subspecies. Anyhow, am not 100% sure but i think this subspecies (Ursus arctos Jeniseensis) has been removed. Wiki does not have a page for it, The "bear conservation site" does not either, and neither does the "Bears of the world" site. I think its just Gobi bear now (Ursus arctos gobiensis). The only report we ever had mentioning the Mongolian brown bear (Ursus arctos Jeniseensis) was this:

Yes; could be Ursus arctos lasiotus:

Lasiotus could range in Mongolia as that country is crunched between Southern Russia and Northern China, but am not so sure. According to this report, the only 2 subspecies in Mongolia are the Gobi bear (Ursus arctos gobiensis), and the Mongolian brown bear (Ursus arctos Jeniseensis). But in reality, the East Siberian brown bear (Ursus arctos collaris) also ranges in Northern Mongolia.
I think that the Ussuri brown bear (Ursus arctos Lasiotus) enters China thru the East of Mongolia, it might not go straight down thru it:

Did you not grasp the meaning of my post? Ursus arctos jeniseensis = Ursus arctos lasiotus ( maybe ).

Yes brobear. If you analyze the map above, the RFE is just above where China starts to the Northeast, this is why Lasiotus does not enter Mongolia. So most likely Jeniseensis is Gobiensis.

Up to 400 kg ( 881.85 pounds ) with an average of 300 kg ( 661.39 pounds ). This looks like the weight of an Ussuri brown bear. Gobi bears are much smaller. pictured: Gobi bear.

The average weight looks very similar yes. But Lasiotus having a range in Mongolia is not listed anywhere. But who knows? Maybe just maybe. Jeniseensis is at the North, Gobiensis is at the South:
In 1946, Mongolia's independence was recognized by the Republic of China, so maybe that's part of the confusion:

Its like this ( IMO ) either U.a. jeniseensis and U.a. lasiotus are one-and-the-same subspecies; or jeniseensis is a ligitamate subspecies.

Yes, but the main theory is that its the same subspecies as the Gobi bear, because according to the only report we have, both subspecies are basically the same morphologically. The taxonomy of the brown bear in Mongolia on a subspecies level is still unclear.
