content: Kamchatka brown bear which is basically a Kodiak bear can get to about 1500lbs or around 700kg. The whole area is full of salmon, or should I was was once full of salmon. A lot of unregulated fishing has wiped out a lot of the fish stocks and put pressure on the bear population to come into closer contact with humans, what was an uncommon sight is becoming a lot more frequent as the bears need to maintain a lot of body fat.  Theres reports of these bears tearing up graveyards and eating corpses, these things can take down a fully grown elk, two hikers are absolutely nothing in comparison.
