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.

That record 2100 pound polar bear was mounted incorrectly ( unnaturally ) and so the height given is not correct. We must consider the polar bears diet of seal, walrus, and whale blubber being more weight-gaining that any zoo menu for bears. Captive polar bears are not the record sized polar bears. The heaviest zoo-kept Kodiak bears on record ( being fed less weight-gaining food than a wild polar bear, were heavier than the record polar bear. So in all reality, polar bears are slightly larger because of their fatty diet.
