Sloth Bear

Parvaz says: I mentioned to some experts that siberian tigers have 20% body fat, so they do not weigh as much as they appear to be. People who read that blamed me why do you mention that fact. It may become a tool for some haters to blame the white people and there are possibilities of abuses among people. I was almost depressed after that incident. Since then i have learned not to mention some things openly. Openness is not always good.
Yeah, sometime an innocent comment can bring in a storm of unnecessary attacks. As with the grizzly, in the spring, he might have less body-fat than the average healthy man; in the summer he is fatter but looking good. Summer is the right time to weigh bears. In the autumn; he will be obese. But with grizzlies, obesity does not cause ill effects. His body will then absorb the fat during his long winter sleep. During years of not-so-friendly animal face-off debates, posters enjoyed calling bears fat. I would simply remind them of Andre the Giant and the greatest weight-lifters like Paul Anderson, Mike Henry, and Vasily Alekseyev.  Reply
