The Kodiak brown bear lives in the Kodiak Archipelago of Alaska and on Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge. It is by far the largest subspecies of brown bear, with males weighing an estimated 800-1,400 pounds in the wild. Females are an estimated 30 percent lighter. Males begin to emerge from their dens in early April while sows with new cubs may stay in their dens until late June. Here a mother is teaching her cub to fish on Kodiak Refuge.
