Damn!

I didnt see the Amur brown bear article when I opened this article, which is on exactly the same animal. This needs a prompt merger NOWMariomassone (talk) 19:30, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Amur brown bear is really small compared to this article, if there are no objections Amur brown bear should simply be redirected to Ussuri Brown Bear. Also, should the article reside at Ussuri brown bear per the Naming conventions?--Commander Keane (talk) 09:19, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed in full Mariomassone (talk) 14:38, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

McLellan and Reiner were incorrectly cited

They did not specify which two Asian brown bears entered North America: "U. arctos apparently entered Alaska about 100,000 YBP but did not move south until the late Wisconsin, about 13,000 YBP. Kurten and Anderson (1980) suggest the possibility of 2 independent migrations; narrow-skulled bears from northern Siberia through central Alaska to the rest of the continent becoming U. a. horribilis, and a southern migration of broadskulled bears from Kamchatka to the Alaskan peninsula becoming U. a. middendorffi" 164.159.62.2 (talk)

Predator or prey?

Although Ussuri brown bears are sometimes eaten by Siberian (or Amur) tigers, one report 1973 said that a brown bear killed a tiger, then ate it. Yes, I know, don't believe everything you see or hear. However, if the report were true, would that place the bear and tiger in a intraguild competition/predation just like between lions and crocodiles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.117.14.169 (talk) 04:26, 23 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The reference [23] (Goodrich et al, 2008) is not relevant. The study doesn't mention any instance of bear predation on tigers (it only bears as potential predators of adult tigers and cubs along several other mammals). None of the tigers followed in the study died because of interactions with bears. Proconsul74 (talk) 15:59, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Flotsam?

I think the wrong word is used twice, and linked once, in describing the diet. I would fix but I have no idea what is supposed to be here. Flotsam is like thinks floating after shipwrecks. I don’t think that’s going to be sufficient to fill the diet of an entire continent’s worth of bear...
