Polar bears are considered adults when they are old enough to mate. For females, this is ages 4-6, for males 6-10.
By the time they reach adulthood, adult males normally weigh 350-600 kg (775-1,300 lb). Adult females usually weigh 150-295 kg (330-650 lb), though some can be larger.
Polar bears live in multiple countries throughout the arctic. If you'd like to know more about the polar bear range in the United States, you can read the NPS page on polar bears.
