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.
I put this as kind of reminder just in case, that someone who is interested about bears haven´t seen before those articles in my latest postings. I recommend to check if so, quite interesting information and possible new method to use in future also to other animals (I hope). There are more important things in conservation of wildlife, but I can admit that of course I´m curious to know more about sizes of big individuals. And now it looks like that in future there could be animal friendly way to get information.
Btw, very small sample, but those four males were in average 530 kg, that is quite something even for autumn weight. Biggest inland brown bears are 130-150 kg lighter even when in really fat condition. Some really exceptional ones might be close to 500 kg, but that means something extraordinary, when talking about "inland" brown bear.
