Big cat and Bear tale

[brotherbear]

Here are a few more quotes by Big Bonns. I only quote from those whom I admire and respect. I just can't see so much time and hard work being wasted. From http://animalsversesanimals.yuku.com/

Big Bonns... As anyone among the hunting faternity pacifc side will tell you....Peninsula Browny all the way.
Kodiak is obliged to protect Kodiak Bear to almost exactly 3000....beyond which they allow hunting until they return to 3000 again.
The Peninsula Bear number closer to 20,000 animals and from here based on pure percentages, they return larger animals.
Chucks Outriggers own record is of a 1400lb Browny....from the Peninsula B104 was from the Peninsula....estimated at 1700lb. Another was taken in 2009 that was reported to be 1600lb unconfirmed.
There is another on Afognak which is reported to be 1 tonne but unconfrmed. If you just type in Google the words "Grizzly Bear road kill" (i can be bothered to provide links and stuff these days) you will see the Interior Grizzly 843lb road kill on the back of a truck, complete with massive paws. I repeat this is not a coastal Browny but an interior Grizzly. Not fat just massively built and what you should compare your Lions to when comparing against the Interior true Grizzly subspecies. He is the second such animal in the last 3 years where another almost identical specimen was translocated to Denali at 847lb. It is utter proof that these species grow to about 850lbs for the principal males just as Lions might grow to 530lb (Ghosts of Tvaso)
I have a pic of the 1120lb animal which i will dig out.

For others there is a pic in existance of b104 fishing in water. I will obtain a link. Both rangers estimated him at 1700lbs.
Apol....the program in search of the worlds largest Bears was dropped due to finance issues. It has been reported for around 10 years that Afognak Browns get larger than Kodiaks and the search began here for a reported 1 tonne specimen seen in 2002. I will see what i can dig out and the program was apparently completed with a positive result.

Yes, the 843lb, 847lb, 930lb Yukon, 1053lb Khutz and the 1120lb Yellowstone Bears are all confirmed as being weighed.
If we are to dispense with the all too numerous Grizzly that get 650lb to 850lb ish then we must dispense with Lions that might make 500lb to 530lb (although no hard evidence of such in recent times)
Indeed there have been a whole raft of Female Grizzly in Denali which have exceeded average Lion weights. Grizzly have managed 1120lbs 1050lbs 930lbs, 850lbs, 830lbs, 750lbs and 730lbs for the internal subspecies of the Grizzly..... these across the broad range of ecosystem....Yukon barren tundra, Yellowstone semi temperate forest, Khutz lush rainforest/swamp and Rocky mountains, elevated barren ground.
Grizzly are potentially850lb animals for full growed adult males regardless of the environment (freaks removed) Reply
