Brown bears of the Cantabrian Mountains of Spain are the smallest subspecies in the world with a head and body length 160 to 200 cm long and height at the shoulders 90-100 cm. Females weigh, on average, 85 kg but can reach a weight of 140 kg. Males average 115 kg though can weigh as much as 180 kg. In Spain, it is known as the Oso pardo cantábrico and, more locally, in Asturias as Osu. It is timid and will avoid human contact whenever possible. The Cantabrian brown bear can live for around 25–30 years in the wild. Reply
