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.

Pckts, just because this one person or team of naturalists captured and weighed no grizzly weighing above the 500 pound range does not mean that there are none there. There are indeed reliable records of bears within that location, inland grizzlies, weighing between 800 and 900 pounds. I remember that a long-lasting study of the Siberian tiger captured and weighed no tigers above the 400 pound range. Should I assume that there are no tigers weighing as much as 500 pounds?
Here are a few more good examples; again from AVA:
