The brown bear is a large bear native to Eurasia and North America. Of the carnivorans, it is rivaled in size only by its closest relative, the polar bear, which is much less variable in size and slightly bigger on average. The brown bear is a sexually dimorphic species, as adult males are larger and more compactly built than females. The fur ranges in color from cream to reddish to dark brown. It has evolved large hump muscles, unique among bears, and paws up to 21 cm wide and 36 cm long, to effectively dig through dirt. Its teeth are similar to those of other bears and reflect its dietary plasticity.

One way to identify a brown bear is by the hump at the top of its shoulder. The hump is made of muscle and helps the bear dig its den.
Their fur length varies according to the season. In the summer, their fur is shorter. In the winter, some brown bears' fur can reach four to five inches in length.
Females give birth during the winter, while still hibernating.
