Kodiak brown bears are considered a unique subspecies of the brown bear that have been geographically isolated for over 10,000 years on a group of large islands called the Kodiak Archipelago in Alaska, which provides a rich environment for all the bear necessities.

The big brown bear males are out and about, waiting for the ladies to wake up. There’s lots of rubbing trees to leave their scent and posturing to other males to see who’s dominant. #kodiakisland #kodiak #wildlife #brownbears #alaskawildlife #springtime #spring #wildlifeplanet #animals #ourplanetdaily @kodiakairservice | Kodiak Island Expeditions

Synchronized bear dancing? Nope- its ritualized aggression. These two male brown bears are seizing each other up as a female awaits in the background. This is typical behavior in late May and June when most of the bears (females without cubs and males) are breeding. | Kodiak Island Expeditions
