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.

Humans and bears - Wild encounters

India brotherbear Offline

The Grizzly Bear... Ben Franklin was caught, as a small cub, in the spring of 1854; Lady Washington, as a larger cub in 1853, and Samson, as a large bear, in the winter of 1854-5; that is, if Adams was truthful in his statements to me, as I thought  and still think he was. As to Samson's weight, my recollection is that Adams said he had had him weighed on a hay scales. His show bills in San Francisco gave fifteen hundred pounds as his weight and I never heard it disputed, but as he was doubtless the big bear exhibited in New York, it is possible that the exact weight could be ascertained there.
