The smallest bear in Alaska is the black bear; it is also the most common bear in the state. They stay almost everywhere in Alaska except in the Seward Peninsula, which is in Western Alaska north from the Brooks Range. Black bears that live in the wild have a shorter life span, most of them live to be about 18 or 19 or to their early twenties. Their fur comes in many colors; it can be brown, black, cinnamon, or white. There also is a rare silver-tipped fur bear and when it is in the sunlight, its fur looks blue. This bear is called a glacier bear and they are very rare and only live in the region close to Yakutat, Alaska.

Brown bears live south of the Brooks mountain range in Alaska. They are bigger than black bears, adult brown bears weigh up to 1,000 pounds and females weigh about 500 pounds. The biggest brown bears weigh in at 1,400 pounds; however, a bear's weight changes depending on the seasons of the years. In the fall, they eat the most food because they need to get ready for winter hibernation. Brown bears can live to 40 years old in captivity and the ones in the wild can live to over 30.
