The difference is that one is a family and one is a class. Other than that, there really is no difference, they both define bears.

The polar bear belongs to the animalia kingdom, the chordata phylum and the mammalia class. They also belong to the carnivora order and the ursidae family.
Just by looking at the genus name of the animal. The Genus and species name of the Giant Panda is Ailuropoda melanoleuca, whereas the Genus and Species name of the Polar bear and Grizzly bear are Ursus maritimus and Ursus arctos horribilis, respectively. All three species of bears, however, are all a part of the Family Ursidae.
Scientists have determined that the Ursus maritimus or polar bear and the Ursus arctos or brown bear, are genetically related. This is supported by the evidence that these 2 species can interbreed to produce a hybrid, fertile offspring.
The Kodiak Bear's scientific name, given in Latin, is Ursus arctos middendorffi, a subspecies of the Brown Bear (Ursus arctos).
