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.

What a coincidence, I have read this just now as you replied. For the ‘shoulder height’, that study gave the distance from superior angle of the scapula to the tip of the longest claw. This is obviously not the real height as the real height will be much less than this and they also took the body length over the curves. The same could be the case for Ussuri Brown Bears except for the one 360kg Bear you mentioned which may have been measured differently.
