I am pretty sure Beorn is old. In The Hobbit they are debating over wht he is. Gandalf in the Hobbit says that there are only two options: either he was a bear descended from the geat or ancient bears, or he was a man. I think he was a man. He woudl have probably preffered to be in bear form if he was really a bear. He was also a very large man. NOt a giant, but still very tall (the fringe of his tunic was a bout 3/1/2 feet off the ground.
