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"

The first-ever genetic delineation of nearly all existing squirrel groups suggests not only some surprising branchings in the squirrels' family tree. The study also reveals strong evidence that geological and climatic change influenced how their ancestors evolved and spread over 36 million years from just one part of ancient North America to nearly all of today's world. - SQUIRRELS' EVOLUTIONARY 'FAMILY TREE' FULL TEXT.
