Articles are in Finnish, so again not possible to read for most here, but at least figures can be checked. Not easy to find statistics, so I put these here to give some idea about biggest known individuals. These figures have been here before, but just if there is someone new interested about possible sizes of brown bears in Finland and Scandinavia.

Biggest captive brown bear in Finland is pretty famous big boy, Juuso bear, which in heaviest condition has been 483 kg (about 1064 lbs). Reply
