The largest bear ever was the giant short-faced bear. It lived throughout North America from 1.6 million to 11,000 years ago. It stood as much as 180cm tall.

Brown bears have huge shoulder muscles, which make them very strong. The muscles are so big they give the bear a hump, which is one way of telling them apart from other bears.
