Conserning my previous posting #693. This April Kodiak bear Taquka weighed 410 kg (app. 904 lbs) and Eurasian brown bear Felix 244 kg (app. 538 lbs). And as earlier mentioned, both are male brown bears. 

Taquka starts to be quite close to full size, when thinking about "frame", but it can still grow some size even up to 2-4 years, when we think shoulder height and how tall it´s when standing on hind legs. But I think, that it is now at least 90% of it, what it might be in future what comes to those measurements. Weight is then another issue. Felix should catch up a bit this difference, but naturally it will be clearly smaller always.

I have to say, that even though this size difference between these two subspecies is nothing new, in a way it´s still even a bit shocking to see about 250 kg brown bear to be dwarfed like this side by side with Kodiak bear.
