The Himalayan Brown Bear is a close relative to the Brown Bear. However, said Himalayan Brown Bear is speculated to be linked to the legendary Yeti species.

Now on to some basic information on the Himalayan Brown Bear...

The Himalayan Brown Bear exhibits what some call "Sexual Dimorphism".  Now this mean male and female Himalayan Brown Bears have different attributes and physical traits.  Male Himalayan Brown Bears range from 4 ft.11 inches- 7 feet tall!  Females range from 4 foot 6 inches - 6 feet tall! WOW! That is totes a large specimen.

Now you are probably asking yourself what place on earth could hold such a fine specimen.  Well since you asked... India, Pakistan, and TIbet.  They used to be found in Bhutan but have since been named extinct in said area.

Now lets say you go to one of the said areas to see the Himalayan Brown Bear but yet you do not find one in the greater area.  Well that is probably because you are in said area around October through April, when they hibernate.  Comeback after April and you will see this majestic creature in all of its glory.

Now the Himalayan Brown Bear is an omnivore usually feeding on roots, grasses and other plants of that nature.  HOWEVER, they have been known to feed on larger mammals, specifically goats and sheep.
* Side note adult Himalayan Brown Bears typically feed before sunrise and later in the afternoon.  So if you want to approach one, which I strongly DO NOT recommend,  then approach one around noon (please use immense caution).

(What a majestic specimen)

Scientists and other people think the Himalayan Brown Bear is linked to the Yeti.  They are wrong.  It is not.

They are endangered and International Trade is prohibited by the Wildlife Protection Act in Pakistan.

The Himalayan Brown Bear is an interesting creature and is vastly different from its opposite sex. Corey and Callie are like said Himalayan Brown Bear as they are different yet found a pure, conditional, unadulterated love for one another.  Totes perf if you will.

At this point you have probably read this with all intentions of a status report of planning for the September matrimony ceremony between Corey and Callie and now are probably tiffed because rather than updates you have been educated on such an interesting specimen such as the Himalyan Brown Bear.  Sorry... my b.
