How tall is Paddington Bear?
The Paddington Bear is very short and cute.
However, unlike their fictional, marmalade-sandwich-obsessed counterpart, the Andean bears are quite tall.
Despite their large size (an adult can grow to around 5-6 feet tall and weigh approximately 350 pounds), the Andean bear is an excellent climber thanks to their long front legs.
Andean Bears tend to live alone, only coming together for the mating season, which lasts from April to June.
