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.

Yes, Foxe Basin and Kotzebue (the supposed 2210-pound specimen) polar bears are among the largest polar bears in existance: about 1200-pounds (not 1300-pounds) on average.
The smallest weighted population? Right by Novaya Zemlya and the Russian portion of the Arctic Circle where males on average weigh 780-800 pounds.
The usual? 950-1020 pounds on average.
Not much variation as brown bears though, from 220-pound males in Iberia to the hulking 900-1000 pound Kodiak males.
