Kamchatka Brown Bear
The Kamchatka brown bear (Ursus arctos beringianus) is also known as the Far Eastern Brown Bear due to the location in which it can be found. These bears can be found native in places such as the Kamchatka Peninsula, Anadyrasky District and Kariginskiy Island amongst other places.
The Kamchatka brown bear is closely related to the Alaskan Brown bear and is thought that it might be ancestor of the Kodiak bear.
This sub-species of brown bear is the largest of brown bears found in Eurasia as it can reach a length of almost 2.5 meters.
The diet of the Kamchatka brown bear is mainly fish, berries and nuts.
These bears aren’t that dangerous and will not attack humans unless they see a necessary reason for it, e.g. if a mother feels that her cubs are threatened.
Hunting these bears isn’t illegal though you have to buy a permit which can cost as much as $10,000 each. Only 500 Kamchatka Bear hunting permits were issued in 2005 by the Kamchatka Wildlife Management Department. In such regions Kamchatka bears are considered to be a very great prize and give status to anyone who has killed one due to how big they are.
