There are a lot of different wild animal patches out there. These patches are pretty detailed, and some of them truly capture the wildness and danger of these animals. But they also capture the gentleness, the beauty, and the awesomeness of the animal kingdom. This Brown Bear Patch was designed by Arturo Vilmenay, one of the most talented artists and patch designers around. He has created some amazing products, and when you buy licensed patches, he receives a royalty. That's why it's important to purchase licensed patches. Plus, these licensed embroidered patches are very high quality and are sure to last for years.
The brown bear lives across Eurasia and North America, although it's mainly seen in the northern areas of both. These bears can weigh anywhere from 200 pounds to over 1,400 pounds! The Kodiak bear, the largest of brown bears, is considered one of the two biggest bears in the world (the other is the polar bear). There are currently 16 different subspecies of brown bears, including several that have been declared extinct.
Brown bears have very long, thick fur that is usually brown in color, although some have more red in their coloring while others are almost black. Some are even more cream or white colored. The brown bear may live as old as 25 for males and 37 for females, who may reproduce up to age 28. The oldest brown bear in captivity lived to be 48 years old.
This brown bear patch follows the shape of the bear's face. However, it roughly measures four inches by four inches. It can be ironed on to most materials, but if you're putting it on leather or on nylon, you'll want to sew it on using the thick die cut black borders that outline the patch.
