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.

I have no doubt that diet plays a huge role but I also wonder if polar bears like the Tiger, have drastic differences in body mass from location to location.
I always picture Polar Bears like these below in the Circuses of old but I am well aware that many also look much smaller like the ones you posted brobear.
Typical western media propaganda .... Shows one or two exceptional or edited bear pictures as 'common' bears. In reality if we compare them with man/dogs side by side we can easily predict them as just over sized dogs.
Noway these timid,fat bears can cross 329 kg average mark as measured by US scientists.
