EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph by Karl Joseph Brodtmann, published in Heinrich Rudolf Schinz's Illustrated Natural History of Men and Animals in 1836, showcases the striking similarities and differences between the East Siberian brown bear (Ursus arctos collaris, bear 1) and the common brown bear (Ursus arctos, bear 2). Both species are native to the vast expanses of Eurasia, with the East Siberian brown bear inhabiting the easternmost regions of the continent. The East Siberian brown bear, also known as the Kamchatka brown bear, is distinguished by its lighter coat, which is more golden-brown in color compared to the common brown bear's darker fur. This variation in coat coloration is believed to be an adaptation to the colder climate and snowy conditions of their eastern habitat. Despite their similarities as members of the same species, the East Siberian brown bear and the common brown bear exhibit notable differences in size and behavior. The East Siberian brown bear is generally larger, with males reaching up to 3 meters in length and weighing up to 600 kg. They are also more solitary animals, preferring to live and hunt alone. The common brown bear, on the other hand, is more widely distributed across Europe and Asia, and their coat coloration ranges from black to light brown. They are generally smaller than their East Siberian counterparts, with males reaching up to 2.5 meters in length and weighing up to 450 kg. Common brown bears are also more social animals, often living in groups during feeding seasons. Brodtmann's meticulous attention to detail is evident in this stunning lithograph, which captures the essence of these magnificent creatures and their unique characteristics. The intricate shading and texturing of their fur, as well as the lifelike depiction of their expressions and postures, make this a truly remarkable work of zoological art.
