How much bigger is a polar bear than a brown bear?

It is generally considered that the Polar Bear is "largest" between the two bears. Due to the average adult male Polar Bear has a weight of 900 to 1,500 pounds. While the Brown Bear adult male averages a close second with 500 to 900 pounds. The largest recorded weights can be confusing, since they aren't based on averages, but the largest "ever recorded" weighed animal. This depends on the largest animal that has ever been, usually killed and then weighed, and measured, then officially recored in a game's keeper, or warden's record, or logbook. For the Polar Bear, the largest ever recorded, was shot and killed in Kotzebue Sound Alaska in 1960. It weighed in at 2,210 pounds, and was 11 feet and 11 inches tall. The Brown Bear, largest was a subspecies Known as the Kodiak Bear, this one was weighed in at more than 2,500 pounds and was about 14 feet tall. As you can tell by the records, these were probably done by local Wildlife Represents, and all the facts are not keep the same on each. For more details see sites listed below.
