I heard that those guys got kicked out of the bar the other day... And it appears to have happened for very good reasons

Yeah you give a Nanuq (polar bear) too many beers and you've got a mess on your hands!

 

That's Big Mama, she's about 10' and maybe 1,100 lbs.  Her kids are about 500 lbs each.

 

See that first picture where she's at the bottom of the gravel bank?  If she was hungry, she could be up that bank and tearing the door off your truck in maybe 3 seconds.  They're incredibly fast and athletic.

Nice !

White bear is bigger than a kodiak ?

[Nanuq]

The polar bear is longer but leaner. The Kodiak is more massive and not quiiiiite as tall.

Waouh, very impressive with these pics
