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.

They used kodiak bears started at age of 8 years (logically). Of course below nine, but they gave 700lbs average.
So 9 year old individuals may have average of 800lbs, which is larger than 787lbs of Alaska peninsula Brown bears.
