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.
When anyone here is looking first posting of this thread and looking that average weight given to Kodiak bears, you can check here Kodiak bear chart from Troyer-Hensel and see what is given average weight for male Kodiak Bears age 8-9 years old. Just coincidence, that exactly 835 lbs?
Then you can look at text attached to that chart and I leave it up to everyone decide themselves if it sounds fair calculation to take out from that average weight 40% as fat. I personally can´t take that calculation seriously.
I don´t know which one is stronger pound to pound, but I find that 40% out of that average weight with available information there to be without any real justification. Maybe 5-10% might be ok. But as said, everyone can make up their own mind and how reliable they see what Vegeta San say. There are charts and explanations.
