The renal arteries of four brown bears (Ursus arctos) have been investigated after filling with a polyester resin. It is shown that in all cases the renal artery devides into ventral and dorsal, sub- and suprapelvic arteries. The distribution of these arteries and the number of renculi supplied are described.
