Adult males have skulls measuring 32.6–43.1 cm (12.8–17.0 in) in length, and 31.2–38.5 cm (12.3–15.2 in) wide at the zygomatic arches. They have long, dense and soft fur which is similar in colour to that of Eurasian brown bears, though darker coloured individuals predominate. A sketch of an East Siberian brown bear
[3] [6] In some cases, the big adult males of these populations may have matched the Kodiak bear in size. [3] East Siberian brown bears from outside the sub-Arctic and mainland Ussuri brown bears average about the same size as the largest-bodied populations of grizzly bears, i.e., those of similar latitude in Alaska, and have been credited with ...

[12] [13] Ussuri brown bears that exceed 300 kg are reported to be invulnerable to attacks by Siberian tigers. [14] The effect the presence of tigers has on brown bear behavior seems to vary.
Bear habitats are generally forests, though some species can be found in grassland and savana regions, and the polar bear lives in arctic and aquatic habitats.

During a study on the animal, one researcher found only 1% of his 270 encounters with Kamchatka brown bears resulted in attack.
