| Summary: | As part of a continuing study on brown bears (U~s z l sa r c f o s),the movement patterns and activities a r e described on the basis of 247 fixes obtained from 14 radio-equipped bears during the summer and fall seasons of 1967-69 at the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska. The size of individual activity areas established by eight bears averaged 5.5 square miles and four bears used two activity areas each that averaged 5.7 square miles in size. Activities were associated with food gathering and winter denning. Fix frequency and location indicated that the 14 bears studied spent most or 50 percent of their time in lowland habitat. |
