  There’s always a bigger fish bear.

  That each bigger bear is also standing forward of the smaller ones and with it’s hind legs hidden behind them exaggerates how much bigger they are.

    It is comparing height paw to the shoulder, not the length. It’s the standard way to measure quadrupeds.

  Black bears are basically just big dogs, I feel like having one for a size comparison doesn’t really do justice to that giant skeleton

    I often wonder if black bears didn’t evolve to be less threatening since humans came to North America. They’re widespread and common and no one is trying to wipe them out. Ran into one with her two cubs and she bolted away.

      They actually cull them if they have too much contact with humans. It’s incredibly sad, if they are found to be being fed or otherwise getting to cozy to people they are killed so that they don’t accidentally hurt someone. But they really are like big dogs, almost friendly to people

  What’s bigger than a Giant. Ahh, it’s a South American.
