The bear inhabits an area over 1 400 metres above sea level in a region where there stand such high peaks as Wagal Peak (2 260 metres above sea level), the highest peak of the Rangnim Mountains.

Some of the animals are 150-180cm long. They usually weigh 180-250kg. Their fur colour varies according to zones and seasons, but it is generally dark brown or black.

The bear hibernates in a rock cave, a hollow tree or a lair it digs under a fallen tree. It goes into the hibernating place between November and December and comes out of the place between March and April. It does not leave its fixed living place.
