At one time, there was another subspecies of the polar bear, which was a close relative of the modern polar bear and which was distinguished by its gigantic size. The length of adult individuals reached 4 meters, and their weight was more than a ton.

It was possible to learn about similar characteristics of an extinct species thanks to the discovered remains. They were discovered in England, in Pleistocene deposits. It was possible to discover the ulna of the beast and, as it later turned out, it belonged to a giant polar bear.
