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.

From the "NORTHERN CONTINENTAL DIVIDE ECOSYSTEM GRIZZLY BEAR POPULATION MONITORING ANNUAL REPORT (2009-2010)".
Surprisingly, the bears didn't show that much significant bodyfat% differences by sex, but the males probably had a greater propensity to eat a lot more at once before hibernation than the females (eating too many calories too quickly causes greater ratio of fat gain/muscle gain), and body fat %'s were lower than I expected going into the winter months...:
