Bear Size ~

[brotherbear]

Many people ask us for more details about Jimbo.
Jimbo is a Kodiak bear.
He weighs almost 1500 lbs and stands 9.5 feet tall.
He is 22 years old this month and Susan and Jim have had him since he was a cub.
Jimbo originally came from an animal park out west and he had an injury to his back leg. The injury was a permanent one and he still gets stiff in that hind leg when it's cold out.
Jimbo was born in captivity at the animal park and was never a "wild bear". That park has since closed.
Since he was born in captivity to a mother also born in captivity he would have no skills taught to him to survive in the wild. (Plus his leg injury would have made it even worse for him. )
Jimbo lives with Leo and is closest friends with him.
