Another article about scanning volumes of bears.

Katmai National Park broke new ground in laser scanning this October when a survey-grade scanner was used for their annual “Fat Bear Week.”

Quote: "Cusick says, “It’s [otherwise considered] impossible to get fall bear weights due to size. They simply can’t lift a fall bear using tripod/pulley in the field, so this is a possible way to derive what is otherwise impossible to measure on such large creatures.“"

A shot from the primary camera of the scanner shows the point returns (380 feet) of Otis, a popular bear at the falls, sitting in the “office.”
