As I got it from a poster called "vodmeister" on new Carnivora here...

Also according to this chart, polar bear is the largest and always the largest extant bear..

True, but that book doesn´t give answers when those bears were weighed and either no information about age range. So an example about a chart with a lot of information and still difficult to make big conclusions. It is kind of frustrating how often that same problem occurs. I read that part of that book some time ago, but again more creating questions than giving answers :)

I edited a little bit, I had written before weight range when I meant age range of weighed bears :) Reply
