Rubber figure – Grizzly Bear

This PVC Brown Bear XL figure features the distinctive characteristics of its subspecies, including the pronounced shoulder hump and prominent claws on its feet, as well as conveying the overall bulk of this huge bear.

This hand-painted PVC Brown Bear XL figure measures 23 centimeters in length, from the tip of the snout to the heel of the left foot. It is 12 centimeters tall to the top of its hump. Its coloration reflects the variable shades of brown found in this subspecies, with a golden brown face and darker brown tone on the body. Its nose and lips are black and its claws are light brown.

The brown bear is a large type of brown bear found in the far northwest regions of the North American continent, especially in Canada and Alaska. Although not as large as the polar bear, these bears can grow quite big. Their sharp claws can be up to ten centimeters long.

Explorers Lewis and Clark first described this creature as “grisley,” although exactly what they meant is not 100% clear. They probably referred to the “grizzled” appearance of the bear, with lighter tips in the fur. Brown bears can be distinguished from smaller black bear species in some ways – the brown bear has a prominent shoulder hump, a less narrow face, and its rump is lower than its shoulders.

Although they belong to the order Carnivora, brown bears eat animals and plant matter. They eat fruits and insects, but also attack deer, moose, and other large animals. Fish, especially salmon, make up a large part of the diet of Grizzlies in Alaska and Canada, and this protein-rich diet causes these bears to grow much larger than other Grizzlies.
