Overall, the average polar bear ( mature male ) would likely weigh somewhere  between 950 and 1100 pounds. There is simply no such animal as an average grizzly - so many populations scattered across Europe, Asia, and North America and each population different. Perhaps Peter, Guate, or perhaps GrizzlyClaws can; I cannot.

Average is not said like this: 'somewhere between 950 and 1100 pounds'. 

Average is total weights/number of Animals........... so, it is a NUMBER not a RANGE.If you are confident say their average is 950 or 1000 or 1100 pounds from 1 or 2 or 10 reserves.

BTW Not only Polar, Brown bears but also all mega fauna are scattered and there is no such animal as as average Wild Boar,Tiger,Elephant and so on still we calculate the average based on that particular zone and later add all zones to find nearly accurate average.

Average 329 and 193 kg is not a small number for a bear family!! Anyway, discussion ends here ...... you can assume what ever average for your bears. Reply
