The brown bear (Ursus arctos) is a large mammal native to Russia, North America, Romania, and Norway. At maturity, these can weigh anywhere between 660 and 1720 pounds. These animals chiefly feed on spawning salmon (Salmonidae), which are highly abundant in much of taiga. However, they sometimes predate larger animals, such as bison, moose elk, deer, and bighorn sheep.
Brown bears regularly compete with wolves for prey. Sometimes, a bear will scare a wolf away from its kill. However, if the wolf doesn't back down, a battle between the bear and the wolf pack may insue. Some other species against which the brown bear competes are the siberian tiger and black bear.
