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.

In chart itself is a different weight range for 5 bears in age class 8-9 years old was 715-1190 lbs. There are some things which would be nice to know better, but when on chart there are bears aging 8-9 years old, looks like, that some weighed bears have been ruled out from chart based on that. For instance that heaviest bear mentioned seem to be one such bear.
As I say, it would be nice to make some questions to people who made that chart to clear some details. Otherwise I have already said what I have to say about these charts at this point, so I am not starting to repeat all over again. It is all there in my previous postings.
Yeah, but there's no mentioned that these 5 bears of 8-9 years weighed in spring.
As I said, those 4 male Brown bears were definitely be older than this age class, which is why they didn't included the average of 8-9 year old male brown bears.
So those bears most likely be much older males probably in the age of 13-14 years. As Brown bear males are considered to reach their maximum size at 14years, which was mentioned in the study I posted...
EDIT:I just looked up the chart again. So, like you said, three males in that average weighed in spring.
