Brown bears: Brown bears range in color from black to blonde. Brown bears are larger than black bears. Some brown bears weigh over 800 pounds. Most adult brown bears weigh about 500 pounds.
Brown bears are sometimes called grizzly bears because they have special fur. Their fur catches the light in a special way, called grizzled. Grizzled fur shines.
The best way to tell if your bear is a brown bear is by his claws. The claws of a brown bear are always out. Brown bears also have a hump on their back.
