Largest Land Carnivores

The Polar Bear and Kodiak bear are the world’s largest land carnivores. A male polar bear can weigh anywhere from 772 to 1,543 pounds with a female polar bear weighing about half as much. The polar bear depends on sea ice to hunt its meal of choice, seal. Due to climate change, the Polar Bear’s current conservation status is vulnerable, and biologist estimate that there are roughly 20-25,000 polar bears currently worldwide. Often Polar Bears are painted as being extremely aggressive, but that’s not often the case. Polar Bears will often choose to escape and avoid confrontation when given a choice.

Largest Land Carnivore

The Kodiak bear inhabits the Kodiak islands in Southwest Alaska. Measuring very closely to the Polar bear, they share the title of largest land carnivore. Whereas the Polar bear eats almost exclusively meat, the Kodiak bear has a much more diverse diet that changes depending on the season. During the spring they eat fresh vegetation along with the carcasses of animals that died during the winter. During the summer, they continue eating vegetation and berries along with Salmon. Some other things that some bears eat year-round are seaweed, deer, and garbage left behind by humans. Although the majority of adult bears die as a result of natural causes, more than 90% of adult male Kodiak bears are killed by hunters.
