Gobi Bears

Posted Image
A female Gobi bear warily eyes the scientists who minutes before immobilized her, checked her physical condition, and attached a GPS radio collar and ear tag—all in hopes of improving her chances of survival.

A female called Borte, after Genghis Khan’s queen, investigates an automatic camera. When first captured in 2006, Borte weighed a healthy 165 pounds. Now she has dropped to 125, probably because of the rigors of raising cubs.

A young male charges an automatic camera set to record his departure from a tagging site.

This large male was documented visiting all three oases in the Gobi A preserve, evidence that the bears are still breeding across their range.

Read the article : Can World's Rarest Bear Be Saved?
So that means that bear isn't even the size of a dire wolf? Wow.

They're listed as brown bears by the photographer.

I find the picture amazing, the sight of these bears prospering on the food and in the land that was once exclusive too there Arctic cousins.

Where are those brown bears from? They look absolutely monstrous, some of them are probably easily above 800 pounds.

Is that a Kodiak or a Grizzly? By the way, I always wondered if there is any visual difference between them, other than size. Anybody knows?
