There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

The "King" of the bears - comparison between the Polar bear and the Brown bear

The polar bear is the biggest bear. He has the longest legs of any bear and has a streamline physique with a long neck and a long narrow skull. He is therefore the tallest of all bears. He has a layer of blubber lacking in the brown bears, for both insulation and buoyancy. So, the polar bear has a few size advantages in the way he is built. But yes, he is the largest and heaviest of bears. Only a brown bear living in an ideal environment, such as the varius coastal brown bears can compare to the polar bear in size.  As for his carnivorous diet, the polar bear eats very little meat other than the blubber of seals, walrus, and beached whales. Never-the-less, the polar bear is the most carnivorous of living bears; perhaps of any bear ever. He has the carnivore teeth to prove it. However, the brown bear has stronger jaws. In comparing skulls, the kodiak bear dwarfs the polar bear. A brown bear has a bigger broader head and a shorter more robust neck and shoulders. Well, this is all I have to say on the subject. I will not become nuisance.
