There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

There's only 5 specimens weighed in the age of 8-9 years.
So the whole four specimens ranging 960-1346 may not be in that range to include that in the average. They might be much older than that age range.
And I never denied older males get bigger. So, nothing will be changed.
Just to clear this so, that maybe you too would understand. Those bears mentioned 960-1346 lbs were from autumn weighing and those are a sidenote in that chart. In chart itself is a different weight range for 5 bears in age class 8-9 years old was 715-1190 lbs. There are some things which would be nice to know better, but when on chart there are bears aging 8-9 years old, looks like, that some weighed bears have been ruled out from chart based on that. For instance that heaviest bear mentioned seem to be one such bear.
As I say, it would be nice to make some questions to people who made that chart to clear some details. Otherwise I have already said what I have to say about these charts at this point, so I am not starting to repeat all over again. It is all there in my previous postings.
