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.

With the maximum average at about 379 kg for the largest brown bear population, it seems clear that the winner for the title of the "king" of bears is still  the polar bear, with an average weight of 489 kg at Hudson Bay (94 males over 5 years old) and a maximum weigh of 699 kg recorded in Alaska (some males were to heavy to be lift and were estimated to weight 800 kg).

Did polar bears also suffer from the "age and season" issue like the brown bears? I think is a relevant question.

I don't think the 540kgs is a "lean" weight. Since the difference is just 70kgs.

The reliable average I guess for 9 year old male Kodiak is 362kgs(800lbs), being larger than 357kgs of Alaska peninsula brown bears...
