Size range for females is from 500 to 700 pounds and for males 800 to 1,400 pounds. There can be a difference of 20 to 30 percent gain in weight between when they emerge from dens in the spring and when they den up in the late fall.

The oldest recorded bear was a 35 year-old female. The initial breeding age is at approximately six years-old and they will usually have two cubs in the first litter and can have up to four in subsequent litters. The average litter size is 2.3 cubs. In general, most cubs remain with their mothers until they are 2-3 years-old.

Kodiak bears breed in spring (May to early-June) and an adult female may mate with several adult males. Cubs are born in the den the following winter ( January or February) due to delayed implantation, and each sibling cub could be from a different father.

In general, after leaving the den in the spring, bears move to lower elevations where they may feed on carrion, roots or other freshly emergent vegetation. As spring progresses, they feed in the high alpine areas below the snow-line on succulent forbs and sedges. During summer, many bears move to, and stay near, streams when salmon are available in local streams. Between July and September, bears routinely supplement their diet with berries—especially salmonberry, elderberry and crowberry. After berry availability declines in September, most bear use focuses on streams which provide late run salmon. Some bears may prey on deer, but it depends on the individual bear.

Ibex, From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"An ibex, also called steinbock, is a type of wild mountain goat with large recurved horns that are transversely ridged in front. Ibex are found in Eurasia and North Africa.

The five species of ibex are grouped with four other species in the genus Capra.

The Alpine Ibex (Capra ibex) is the best known. The Iberian or Spanish Ibex (Capra pyrenaica) had smoother and more spreading horns.

Legend had it that the ibex's spine was rigid, so that the goat could not look back. If threatened from behind, it would jump off a precipice and land unharmed on its horns.

The kri-kri, sometimes called the Cretan Ibex, is a subspecies of the Wild Goat, Capra aegagrus"

Reaching weights of about 400- 1500 lbs, the grizzly bear is mainly nocturnal and in preparation for winter will put on hundreds of pound of fat before going into hibernation. Their coloring ranges from blond to deep brown or black. The grizzly has a large hump over the shoulders which is a muscle mass used to power the forelimbs in digging.

The head is large and round with a concave facial profile. In spite of their massive size this bear runs at speeds of up to 35 mph. Being omnivores, they feed on a variety of plants and berries including roots or sprouts and fungi as well as fish, insects and small mammals.

Normally a solitary animal, the grizzly congregates alongside streams and rivers during the salmon spawn. Every other year females produce 1-4 young which are small and weigh only about 1 pound. For more information about the listed status of the grizzly please visit ecos.fws.gov/species_profile/

Giraffe/Giraffa comes from the Arabic word "zarafah", which means "one who walks swiftly" (Gotch, 1995). Camelopardalis = camel (camelus), leopard (pardus); Latin. Centuries ago, it was thought that giraffes were part camel and part leopard. Local names: Twiga (Swahili), Nduida (Kikuyu), Oloodo-kirrangata (Masai). There are numerous other names in various local languages -Kingdon (1979) lists 20 Giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis) Fact Sheet, 2003.

"Giraffes are superbly adapted to exploit a food source that is out of reach for other hooved animals. They feed almost entirely on leaves of acacia, mimosa, and wild apricot trees. The 18-inch tongue is wrapped around a branch and as the head is pulled away, leaves are stripped off."

Giant pandas are found only in the mountains of central China -- in small isolated areas of the north and central portions of the Sichuan Province, in the mountains bordering the southernmost part of Gansu Province and in the Qinling Mountains of the Shaanxi Province.

Giant pandas live in dense bamboo and coniferous forests at altitudes of 5,000 to 10,000 feet. The mountains are shrouded in heavy clouds with torrential rains or dense mist throughout the year.

Giant pandas have existed since the Pleistocene Era (about 600,000 years ago), when their geographic range extended throughout southern China. Fossil remains also have been found in present-day Burma. Giant Panda (Endangered Species), Wildlife Species Information: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

Opportunities to see Florida panthers are uncommon, even for the researchers who track them. With an estimated wild population of only 30 to 50 animals, Florida panthers are perhaps the rarest and most elusive native animal of the region. Known locally as panthers, these large, tawny cats are actually a subspecies of mountain lion, an animal that once had the broadest distribution of any terrestrial mammal in the Western Hemisphere. After two centuries of intensive hunting and habitat loss, mountain lions are still found in many western states, but the only known population east of the Mississippi River now makes its last stand in south Florida.

Sirenians are the only herbivorous marine mammals; manatees feed on seagrasses; freshwater plants, including nuisance species such as hydrilla and water hyacinth; and even some shoreline vegetation.

Elk (Cervus elaphus) are the most abundant large mammal found in Yellowstone; paleontological evidence confirms their continuous presence for at least 1,000 years. Yellowstone National Park was established in 1872, when market hunting of all large grazing animals was rampant. Not until after 1886, when the U.S. Army was called in to protect the park and wildlife slaughter was brought under control, did the large animals increase in number.
