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, you stated: That is from all of yellowstones data base, over a 25 year period. I have no doubt that bears get larger than said bear, but I don't think that their were any larger than he during that time period. From what year to what year were these studies made? Were these bears captured randomly or were the researchers attempting to capture the biggest bears they could locate? A lot has to do with the actual mission of the research team.
