Why does typing Ursus arctos beringianus redirect here, when that name only applies to the Kamchatka Brown Bear?Mariomassone (talk) 15:50, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
Siberian bears tend to be much bolder toward humans than their shyer, "more persecuted" European counterparts.
Really? cite — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.252.140.84 (talk) 04:27, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
Are there any other sources on the claim they ambush from trees? It seems false.
editThe only source cited for this is a Victorian magazine from 1855, and periodicals from this time regularly published exaggerated information. The claim doesn't really line up with the typical behavior of other brown bear subspecies, as far as I'm aware. The English-language information on this subspecies is a bit sparse, but a translation of the Russian Wiki page didn't have anything about this either. Mephistoscafe (talk) 16:45, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
- I couldn't find a single credible source backing this up so I'm just going to delete that section. Additionally, one of the other citations is a dead link, so I'll replace that once I find a source that's still up Mephistoscafe (talk) 18:05, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
