East Siberian Brown Bear
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Siberian_brown_bear
The East Siberian brown bear (Ursus arctos collaris) is a population or subspecies of brown bear.
Distribution
It ranges from eastern Siberia, beginning at the Yenisei river, north to the Arctic Circle, as far as Trans-Baikaliya, the Stanovoy Range, the Lena River, Kolyma and generally throughout Yakutia and the Altai Mountains. The subspecies is also present in northern Mongolia, northern Xinjiang, and eastern Kazakhstan.[2]
Habitat
Found in the Altai Mountains of Mongolia, and can be found in Eastern Siberia.
Description
Their skulls are invariably larger than those of Eurasian brown bears and are apparently larger than those of Kamchatka brown bears. 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 color to that of Eurasian brown bears, though darker colored individuals predominate. Assumed to live to be around 20 to 30 years in the wild.
They are smaller than Kamchatka Brown Bears, but larger than European Brown Bears. They have long dense fur that is usually dark brown, though it may be cinnamon, pale brown, yellowish brown or even black. Their legs are often darker than the rest of their body. Siberian Brown Bears of the north have white collars which is how their latin name Ursus arctos collaris originated.
Lifespan of the Siberian Brown Bear is roughly 20 to 30 years in the wild.

Diet
Just like other brown bears in the region, Siberian Brown Bears will eat various kinds of vegetation, seeds, nuts, fruit, roots, tubers, small mammals, carrion, and fish. They are, however, more carnivorous than European Brown Bears and are much more likely to take down a caribou or elk. They do not seem to like honey. They hunt mountain hares and ungulates such as reindeer, wapiti or moose by ambushing them from pine trees. Like other brown bears, their diet includes fish, berries, roots and tubers, small mammals such as hares, and larger mammals such as caribou and elk. More carnivorous than European brown bears, will take mammals ranging in size from hares up to caribou (reindeer) and elk. Known to raid hunters’ food stores and huts for food.
Hibernation
Reproduction and development
Mating usually takes place between May and July. Siberian brown bears usually hibernate from October or November into April or early May, though a sow may not emerge with her cubs until late June. Pregnant sows will give birth in the den to usually 2 or 3 cubs in either January or February. The cubs will remain with their mother for up to 2 years.
