Anderson (1909) obtained a bear, June 1, 1909, on Unimak Island, that weighed 1,325 pounds — the skin weighed 135 pounds. Anderson gives the height at shoulder as 48 inches ; height at hip, 3 feet 10 inches; girth back of shoulders, 10 feet; and width between ears, 14 inches.

*Once again... girth back of shoulders, 10 feet. 
 
( what would his chest girth be if measured properly around the shoulders? ). There are a large number of tiger enthusiasts here and I agree that the tiger is probably the greatest terrestrial predator on earth with the lion being his greatest competition. These big cats are the killers of giants. But, no big cat can compete with the grizzly ( Ursus arctos ) in girth. 
 
*Note: a Kodiak bear can stand nearly a foot ( 31 cm ) higher at the shoulders than this bear. What might be the chest girth of a Kodiak brown bear? Reply
