Kodiak

Massive Alaskan bear

Kodiak refers to the Kodiak bear, a subspecies of brown bear native to the Kodiak Archipelago in Alaska—among the largest bears in the world.

The name comes from Kodiak Island, the archipelago's largest island and home to a significant fishing community.

Kodiak appears in contexts involving Alaskan wildlife, commercial fishing, and outdoor adventure: We spotted a Kodiak feeding on salmon.
