Hello everyone grrraaahhh, do you have any info about that bear pictured with the TVP1 logo? Welcome. Warsaw was the person who made the original post, I merged the post into this new thread. I do not know the details for the polar bear in question. From the screenshot, an obviously large bear.

He is the Foxe Basin. He is about the 600k.g. Completely heuristic personality and I am glad to see it. Firstly I don't have such idea about the largest bears. But after analysing your polar I have got it is awesome and fantastic.

Only the largest of coastal brown bear (Kodiak, Alaska Peninsula, Kamchatka) populations will produce similar/comparable sized mature specimens.

Beign a polar bear admirer myself I been acquainted with those pictures of the 1002 kg world record polar bear shot by Arthur Dubs and exhibited in the Seattle world fair in the 1960's. I was looking for info on its current whereabouts to no avail, apparently, nobody knows where is it. Isn't that strange? I mean how you lose something that size? I'm very suspicious about the actual size of the animal and more about the weight, I've seen bulls weighting a ton and honestly that bear doesn't look like a 1000+ kg animal. I don't think we should trust the word of a trophy hunter on the size of an animal nobody was able to measure later.

Genetically, polar bears are largest in the Chukchi/Beaufort Sea area and decline in size from there. Barents Sea bears are generally smaller than North American.
