The Ussuri brown bear (Ursus arctos lasiotus), also known as the Ezo brown bear, Russian grizzly bear, or the black grizzly bear, [3] is a subspecies of the brown bear or a population of the Eurasian brown bear (U. a. arctos). [which?] One of the largest brown bears, a very large Ussuri brown bear may approach the Kodiak bear in size. [4]
Much like the grizzly bear and Eurasian brown bear, populations of the Ussuri brown bear (U. a. lasiotus) and the East Siberian brown bear (U. a. collaris) may vary widely in size. [3] [6] In some cases, the big adult males of these populations may have matched the Kodiak bear in size. [3]
[4] [5] It is about the size of the Kodiak bear; however, the skull is broader than that of the Ussuri brown bear, [6] and compared to that of the Kodiak bear, the breadth of the skull is much greater in proportion to its length, the anterior narial opening is much shorter, and the molars differ in relative size and form.

Most bears are 1.2–2 m (4–7 ft) long, plus a 3–20 cm (1–8 in) tail, though the polar bear is 2.2–2.44 m (7–8 ft) long, and some subspecies of brown bear can be up to 2.8 m (9 ft). Weights range greatly from the sun bear , which can be as low as 35 kg (77 lb), to the polar bear, which can be as high as 726 kg (1,600 lb).
It is also called the European brown bear, common brown bear, common bear, and colloquially by many other names. The genetic diversity of present-day brown bears ( Ursus arctos ) has been extensively studied over the years and appears to be geographically structured into five main clades based upon analysis of the mtDNA .
