Brown Bear Growth Rate
Brown bears are very large animals. At birth, the cubs weigh anywhere from 10 to 25
pounds. These animals usually reach maturity by age 7 and they can live 30+ years.
Most bears won't make it out of their 20s, but it is not uncommon for a bear to reach 30
years old.
Alaskan brown bear can reach 8 to 10 feet long and weigh anywhere from 800 to 1,600

quite larger than the females (sows).
Grizzly bears are smaller than Alaskan brown bears. Grizzly bears can reach up to 8 feet
long and weigh 500 to 1,400 pounds, however, most will typically weigh 500 to 900
pounds. The males are also larger than the females.
