I am not such a big specialist to tell from the photo if this is Siberian brown bear (U.arctos collaris) or Kodiak brown bear (U.arctos middendorffi). Honestly these two look for me like Kodiak !!! I checked all my materials, such as the guide book, leaflets, all my photos taken during my last year visit, and also official web site of Zoom Erlebniswelt - and I was not able to find any single word about Siberian Brown Bears. And of course I am quite sure that during my visit in July 2008 there were only Kodiak bears there. This photo, as it is stated above, was taken only in April 2009. Well you are living in Dortmund so it is really very close to Gelsenkirchen and you can be there very frequent visitors. Well, anyway please be so kind to write me more and to convince me that those are U.arctos collaris !!!!!
