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.
This is the largest bear that I have personally seen in the park. I spotted him near Norris Junction. He was a couple hundred yards out and at first glance I thought it was a bison.
I would estimate him to be in the 600, maybe 700lb range. What was even more impressive was that this pic was taken in May so I can only imagine how big he’ll get before hibernating.
