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.

Yet, not explained the reason. Former russian biologist SP kuncherenko said the otherwise

strength deterioration or muscle mass deterioration in postprime brown bears, yet evidence had
been found of increased muscle volume deterioration in postprime brown bears as. The brown
bears who were experimented on were shortly released back into their respective locations within
Yellowstone National Park after the study commenced. These findings suggest that brown bears,
if not all bear species as a whole, are able to retain their muscle mass and maximum muscle
strength well past their prime years, unlike most other animals.
The muscle mass of the
three year old bear was relatively low due to its low total weight, and the muscle mass of the
oldest specimen concurred with the relatively high amounts of Ib fibres: the densest muscle
fibres discovered in mammalian and reptilian bodies so far.
I read this study. This has nothing to do with what I said.

Then here is calculated out of spring weight 40% as fat. Even everyone knows, who know brown bears, that in spring time such body fat is impossible.
Only three specimens are from spring. And you're not sure about it.
Apart from that, the other studies shown the otherwise.
3 from 5 and one was lighter, so probably end of mating season when bears can have even less body fat, than after hibernation. Anyone interested can check Troyer-Hensel chart and figures from you.
I don´t bother to continue this now, Happy new year to everyone, who are reading this !!! :)
