The largest brown bear ever recorded in weight came from Slovakia and weighed 481 kg while an even larger specimen came from the Carpathians and the measurements you see there are his, unfortunately he was not weighed and @Maritimus77  gave me these measurements.

the Marsican bear has extremely lacking data but from what is quoted in most sites, studies and descriptions, the maximum weight seems to be in the range of 200-230 kg.
 The height at the shoulder is an estimate always made by @"Maritimus77 based on the maximum length quoted for this species at 2 meters.


For the wolf instead we speak specifically of a specimen killed in Piedmont near Entracque city which only the weight of 44 kg was recorded, the measurements are given by a survey of various samples found throughout Italy from 1974 to 1990 which shows a body length that has a range of 109–148 cm and a height at the withers of 49–73 cm Reply
