I grew up in northern Alberta in Canada. One thing that we had a lot of was wildlife on and around our farm. We had our fair share of bears too, which made life interesting. But I have never met a Kodiak Alaska Brown Bear in the wild. Now that would be interesting….Did you know that for every 25 people in Alaska, there is one bear, and that Kodiak Island in Alaska is home to the largest subspecies of brown bear – the Kodiak bear (also known as the Alaskan brown bear). Male bears are called boars, females are sows, and youngsters are cubs. A large male can stand over 10′ tall when on his hind legs, and 5′ when on all four legs. They weigh up to 1,500 pounds. That is a lot of “don’t make me angry, it won’t go well for you….” bear.
