Description
Family URSIDAE Fischer, 1817
The Family Ursidae contains two species of the Genus Ursus in Korea. While Ursus thibetanus occurs throughout Korea, a northern species, U. arctos, has limited occupancy in areas north of Mt. Geumgang, despite a Pleistocene fossil record (12,500 yrs BP) in southern Korea. Both species have experienced excessive hunting pressures for gall bladders.
