In answer to Bold... They have just darted and weighed a Rockies Grizzly (usually the smallest subspecies in the Americas) at 750lb just after hibernation, complete with 3.5 inch claws and 8 inch wide pads. It was predcited to easily weigh 900lbs at fall........ but is the second largest for the region. Utter and conclusive proof that interior Grizzly (even in the barren ground of the Rockies) can do 850lb. See the site http://www.mammalz.com The tally is starting to grow. This one in the Rockies at 750lb possibly rising to 900lb and the second of this size. The 1050lb Khutz Grizzly The 900lb and 1120lb (heaviest ever) specimens from Yellowstone. The 2 recent road kill specimens also Yellowstone. 750lb and 847lb The transplanted rogue male from Yellowstone at 843lb The Yukon 940lb bear. Its suggesting an upper weight area of 800lb to 900lb for large specimens for the interior Grizzly. ....and means at best weights Interior Grizzly are potentially superior to Bigcats. |
