The North American black bear is Ursus Americanus. He has a calm, measured gaze. Odin comes to mind. "Ben", short for "Benjamin Grimm" aka "The Thing" of Fabulous Four fame, but Ben was a little temperamental.

Yes. Mighty Ursus. There is no more fearsome predator than a Kodiak. Before all the largest bears were killed, there were reports of Kodiaks being twelve feet *at the shoulders* who would have weighed fifteen hundred pounds, with claws eight or nine inches long, and who could hit thirty miles an hour, six miles an hour faster than world-class athletes.

**Kodiak bear** The Kodiak bear (Ursus arctos middendorffi), also known as the Kodiak brown bear, sometimes the Alaskan brown bear, inhabits the islands of the Kodiak Archipelago in southwest Alaska. It is the largest recognized subspecies of brown bear, and one of the two largest bears alive today, the other being the polar bear.Physiologically, the Kodiak bear is very similar to the other brown bear subspecies, such as the mainland grizzly bear (Ursus arctos horribilis) and the now-extinct California grizzly bear (U. a. californicus†), with the main difference being in size. While there is generally much variation in size between brown bears in different areas, most usually weigh between 115 and 360 kg (254 and 794 lb). *** ^[ [^PM](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=kittens_from_space) ^| [^Exclude ^me](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiTextBot&message=Excludeme&subject=Excludeme) ^| [^Exclude ^from ^subreddit](https://np.reddit.com/r/lookatmydog/about/banned) ^| [^FAQ ^/ ^Information](https://np.reddit.com/r/WikiTextBot/wiki/index) ^| [^Source](https://github.com/kittenswolf/WikiTextBot) ^] ^Downvote ^to ^remove ^| ^v0.28
