There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

But if not, these are guys ( Rangers ) who know grizzlies up close and personal; thus can fairly accurately estimate their weights. Since Fatso's weight was estimated by Park Rangers at 1,120 pounds ( if not actually weighed ) then its fairly cetain he weighed at least 1,000 pounds. That is my opinion.
Ok, so the weight was estimated then, according to the Park Ranger?
The reason I ask is because the the account i posted of the largest verified weight from Yellowstones site with a bear ID and people involved. Probably why they say he is the largest bear weighed at yellowstone, I would think.
