They are mostly dark in color (rarely light), medium in body size with dark claws. The Siberian representatives are larger than the others. European bears are primarily forest dwellers. Brown bears often do not have a fully brown coat.[85] Brown bears have long, dense fur with a moderately long mane at the back of the neck that varies somewhat among subspecies. Brown bears have very large and curved claws. Those of the front limbs are longer than those of the hind limbs. Their average length reaches 5 - 6 cm, but can exceed it up to 7 - 10 cm. The usual range of physical dimensions of the brown bear is a total length of the body with the head from 1.4 to 2.8 m and the height at the withers (upper part of the shoulder) - from 70 to 153 cm. The tail is short in relation to the size of the body. In all variations of the species, it has a length of 6 to 22 cm. In Bulgaria, there are specimens weighing up to 400 kg, which exceeds twice the weight of bears living in these regions.
