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.

From Casey Anderson's Expedition Wild: * Bears in Yellowstone National Park can stand about 100 centimetres at the shoulder when on all fours and weigh about 275 kilograms. ( 606 pounds ).
* Coastal brown bears can stand 112 centimetres tall at the shoulder when on all fours and weigh 410 kilograms or more. ( 904 pounds ). * A Kodiak bear can stand more than 140 centimetres tall at the shoulder when on all fours and weigh more than 630 kilos. ( 1,389 pounds ).
I would like to see a comparison with the ancient Panthera tigris soloensis and the brown bear ( subspecies ) nearest his size.
