The bear is a large animal. Adult bears can weigh up to 200 kilograms. Due to its large size, the bear has no natural enemies, except for humans. 

Bears have adapted to life in northern coniferous forests. Their thick fur and fat layers protect them from the cold. The fat layer is also vital during the bear's winter sleep, as it provides energy for the bear during the winter months.

Bears are omnivorous predators. They mostly hunt other large mammals, such as moose and reindeer, but they can also eat smaller mammals, such as voles. During the autumn, they also eat berries.​
