Kodiak bears are one of the largest land carnivores, growing up to 3 meters tall when standing upright.
A Kodiak bear can weigh as much as 600 kilograms, about 40% more than most mainland grizzlies.
These bears have a strong sense of smell, with approximately 2,000 smell receptors.
Kodiak bears can eat up to 30 salmon a day during spawning season to prepare for hibernation.
Unlike many other bear species, they are less territorial and often coexist peacefully.
Kodiak bears hibernate for nearly eight months, with pregnant females staying the longest in dens.
