The ones for polar bears (the male ones in particular) seems a bit too much, 30% average? On the data I have, I'd say more around like 23-25%...I'll look into the link to the polar bear study provided in the screenshots later.

From the "NORTHERN CONTINENTAL DIVIDE ECOSYSTEM GRIZZLY BEAR POPULATION MONITORING ANNUAL REPORT (2009-2010)".
Surprisingly, the bears didn't show that much significant bodyfat% differences by sex, but the males probably had a greater propensity to eat a lot more at once before hibernation than the females (eating too many calories too quickly causes greater ratio of fat gain/muscle gain), and body fat %'s were lower than I expected going into the winter months...:
