[Music]
2
00:00:25,890 --> 00:00:31,679
many people who come to visit Kodiak
3
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:33,750
Island Katmai National Park and other
4
00:00:31,679 --> 00:00:36,119
parts of Alaska for bear viewing
5
00:00:33,750 --> 00:00:38,070
opportunities often get a little
6
00:00:36,119 --> 00:00:41,128
confused about the differences between
7
00:00:38,070 --> 00:00:44,759
the various species and subspecies of
8
00:00:41,128 --> 00:00:47,488
bears I often hear folks refer to Kodiak
9
00:00:44,759 --> 00:00:49,729
brown bears as well as the coastal brown
10
00:00:47,488 --> 00:00:53,789
bears of the mainland of Alaska as
11
00:00:49,729 --> 00:00:56,518
grizzly bears however technically they
12
00:00:53,789 --> 00:00:59,909
are somewhat different grizzly bears
13
00:00:56,518 --> 00:01:03,149
coastal brown bears and Kodiak bears are
14
00:00:59,909 --> 00:01:07,250
all the same species that is Ursus
15
00:01:03,149 --> 00:01:08,489
arctos but the grizzly bear Ursus arctos
16
00:01:07,250 --> 00:01:11,450
horriblest
17
00:01:08,489 --> 00:01:14,219
and the Kodiak bear Ursus arctos
18
00:01:11,450 --> 00:01:16,350
Middendorf II are considered separate
19
00:01:14,219 --> 00:01:19,859
subspecies of which there are
20
00:01:16,349 --> 00:01:21,959
significant differences in north america
21
00:01:19,859 --> 00:01:24,239
brown bears are considered to be those
22
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:27,178
of the species that have access to
23
00:01:24,239 --> 00:01:29,310
coastal food sources while grizzly bears
24
00:01:27,179 --> 00:01:31,618
are essentially brown bears that live
25
00:01:29,310 --> 00:01:34,379
further inland and typically don't have
26
00:01:31,618 --> 00:01:37,530
access to marine derived food sources
27
00:01:34,379 --> 00:01:39,209
the Kodiak bear is a coastal brown bear
28
00:01:37,530 --> 00:01:42,060
which lives on the kodiak island
29
00:01:39,209 --> 00:01:44,908
archipelago and has been isolated for
30
00:01:42,060 --> 00:01:47,490
12,000 years from the brown bears of the
31
00:01:44,909 --> 00:01:49,560
mainland of Alaska they have a slightly
32
00:01:47,489 --> 00:01:51,929
larger bone structure and hold the
33
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:54,540
unique title of being the biggest bear
34
00:01:51,930 --> 00:01:58,590
in the world with the largest one on
35
00:01:54,540 --> 00:02:00,540
record being close to 1700 pounds now
36
00:01:58,590 --> 00:02:01,799
the polar bear does get bigger than the
37
00:02:00,540 --> 00:02:04,439
Kodiak brown bear
38
00:02:01,799 --> 00:02:05,750
however the polar bear is classified as
39
00:02:04,438 --> 00:02:08,639
a marine mammal
40
00:02:05,750 --> 00:02:11,610
while both grizzly and coastal brown
41
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:14,009
bears including Kodiak bears are often
42
00:02:11,610 --> 00:02:16,290
referred to as carnivores they are
43
00:02:14,009 --> 00:02:18,379
actually omnivores and eat a wide
44
00:02:16,289 --> 00:02:21,949
variety of foods
45
00:02:18,379 --> 00:02:24,650
grizzly bears eat berries roots all
46
00:02:21,949 --> 00:02:27,949
sorts of plants ground-dwelling rodents
47
00:02:24,650 --> 00:02:31,849
worms pine nuts whatever carrion they
48
00:02:27,949 --> 00:02:34,699
can find as well as moose elk deer black
49
00:02:31,849 --> 00:02:36,109
bear sheep mountain goats and other
50
00:02:34,699 --> 00:02:38,689
mammals that may live in their
51
00:02:36,110 --> 00:02:42,020
particular region especially the calves
52
00:02:38,689 --> 00:02:44,240
of those animals Kodiak bears and the
53
00:02:42,020 --> 00:02:46,280
coastal brown bears of the mainland eat
54
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:49,370
many similar things as the interior
55
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:52,669
Grizzlies such as grass and other plants
56
00:02:49,370 --> 00:02:54,259
berries and dead animals but a
57
00:02:52,669 --> 00:02:56,359
substantial portion of their diet
58
00:02:54,259 --> 00:02:59,000
consists of salmon and other coastal
59
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:02,480
food sources which greatly contributes
60
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:04,430
to their enormous size coastal brown
61
00:03:02,479 --> 00:03:06,679
bears generally don't expend the time
62
00:03:04,430 --> 00:03:09,620
and energy necessary to aggressively
63
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:11,360
chase down and kill other mammals since
64
00:03:09,620 --> 00:03:13,789
nutritious food sources are usually
65
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:16,700
readily available and much easier to
66
00:03:13,789 --> 00:03:19,280
attain besides the differences in
67
00:03:16,699 --> 00:03:21,439
habitat and diet there are also physical
68
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,449
and temperamental differences between
69
00:03:21,439 --> 00:03:26,900
the coastal brown bears and the true
70
00:03:23,449 --> 00:03:29,329
grizzly bears large male coastal brown
71
00:03:26,900 --> 00:03:31,789
bears CAD routinely weigh well over a
72
00:03:29,330 --> 00:03:33,020
thousand pounds in the fall when gorging
73
00:03:31,789 --> 00:03:36,139
themselves on fish
74
00:03:33,020 --> 00:03:38,270
in contrast grizzly bears who live in
75
00:03:36,139 --> 00:03:41,599
the interior regions of wilderness weigh
76
00:03:38,270 --> 00:03:43,820
far less on average also since the
77
00:03:41,599 --> 00:03:45,889
grizzly bear has much more limited food
78
00:03:43,819 --> 00:03:48,650
resources and must work significantly
79
00:03:45,889 --> 00:03:50,719
harder at attaining them they can be
80
00:03:48,650 --> 00:03:54,349
much more aggressive than the larger
81
00:03:50,719 --> 00:03:56,840
coastal brown bears both coastal brown
82
00:03:54,349 --> 00:03:58,849
bears and grizzly bears can vary in
83
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:01,879
color from shades of light brown and
84
00:03:58,849 --> 00:04:03,039
blonde to dark brown and almost black in
85
00:04:01,879 --> 00:04:05,719
coloration
86
00:04:03,039 --> 00:04:07,729
however the fur of grizzly bears is
87
00:04:05,719 --> 00:04:08,479
typically lighter in color at the tips
88
00:04:07,729 --> 00:04:11,449
giving the
89
00:04:08,479 --> 00:04:12,949
grizzled effect while there are other
90
00:04:11,449 --> 00:04:15,619
differences between the various
91
00:04:12,949 --> 00:04:18,918
subspecies of brown bears those are the
92
00:04:15,620 --> 00:04:20,989
main ones if you'd like to learn more
