Average Weight of a Bear
If you picture a bear in your head, it’s probably this guy. The grizzly, also known as the brown bear, is the star of many internet memes and the reason why picnic baskets are a bad idea.
An adult male grizzly typically tips the scales between 400 and 790 pounds. That’s like having a small car that can open doors and growl at you. Females are daintier, clocking in at a “mere” 290 to 440 pounds—still enough to make your gym trainer cry.
Fun fact: a grizzly from the coast (who eats salmon like popcorn) can hit 1,000 pounds. That’s not a bear; that’s a furry mountain with attitude.
