Bear Size ~

[brotherbear]

From a chart I found over at "Carnivora" showing the weights of the various brown bear ( grizzly ) populations in North America: 
Kodiak brown bears - male 300 kg ( 661 pounds ) - female 200 kg ( 441 pounds ). 
Lower Alaskan Peninsula - male 319 kg ( 703 pounds ) - female 198 kg ( 437 pounds ). 
McNeil River - male 257 kg ( 567 pounds ) - female 160 kg ( 353 pounds ). 
East Brooks Range - male 184 kg ( 406 pounds ) - female 109 kg ( 240 pounds ). 
West Brooks Range - male 154 kg ( 340 pounds ) - female 112 kg ( 247 pounds ). 
South Yukon - male 140 kg ( 309 pounds ) - female 95 kg ( 209 pounds ).  
North Yukon - male 170 kg ( 375 pounds - female 114 kg ( 251 pounds ). 
Northwest Territories - male 148 kg ( 326 pounds ) - female 110 kg ( 242 pounds ). 
Glacier National Park - male 165 kg ( 364 pounds ) - female 109 kg ( 240 pounds ). 
Yellowstone National Park - male 245 kg ( 540 pounds ) - female 152 kg ( 335 pounds ). 
Tuktoyaktuk Peninsula - male 183 kg ( 403 pounds ) - female 120 kg ( 265 pounds ).
Southcentral Alaska - male 248 kg ( 547 pounds ) - female 133 kg ( 293 pounds ). 
 
*Note: I'm not certain if these are the supposed averages, but it seems odd that the grizzlies of the Lower Alaskan Peninsula are shown as heavier than the Kodiak bears. Reply
