Kodiak bears are a subspecies of the brown bear found on the Kodiak Archipelago in Alaska. They are among the largest bears in the world, with adult males weighing between 800 to 1,500 pounds. Kodiak bears have a thick, shaggy coat that varies in color from light brown to dark brown, helping them adapt to their environment. These bears primarily feed on salmon, berries, and vegetation, especially during the summer months when food is abundant. Kodiak bears are known for their impressive strength and size, making them formidable predators. They typically hibernate during the winter, relying on fat reserves built up during the warmer months.
