Guate, I noticed something else interesting when looking "Troyer-Hensel" chart and then that other one where it was used. In Troyer-Hensel document average weight 835 lbs is from 5 bears and range 715-1190 lbs. So heaviest bear in that group in kg is about 540 kg. Then in that other chart is mentioned, that heaviest bear was 611 kg. That is mentioned in Troyer-Hensel document when there is mentioned heaviest bear, which they weighed in autumn where 4 male bears were weighed and range was 960-1346 lbs. 1346 lbs is approximately 611 kg. When thinking, that 960 lbs is about 436 kg, it is easy to see difference between spring and autumn weights. That 835 lbs average seems to be from spring weights. Pity that not as much information about story behind weights of those Alaska peninsula bears.

Still also this document leaves some questions, but anyway it is a clear example with that other chart how same information can be made to give so different kind of results. There are more than one question which would be interesting to ask from Troyer and Hensel, but it was very good, that you brought it up here again. If not, at least I might have missed all this. Have to look closer soon if some other questions could be answered. Reply
