I don't know where your resources come from 'Taker, but you find some really cool stuff.

brobearGuate Gojira once made a table on the size of sloth bears and the Maharaja of Cooch Behar shot quite a few with the heaviest being 192kg, however, in his personal notes he mentions that this certain sloth bear measuring 201cm over the curves and thus 13cm longer than the record holder might have exceeded this weight (he wasn't weighed, just measured unfortunately).

Choosing the lean bear reveals how strikingly different they are to each other. Also, I will edit and add, I agree that the coastal brown bear should be listed as U.a. gyas rather than horribilis.

Nice comparison . What's the average weight of coastal grizzlies ? Don't inland and coastal grizzlies belong to the same subspecies ?

horribilis On the Alaska Peninsula mature males were found to average 357kg during spring. Five fully grown males of at least 9 years averaged 389kg with the heaviest weighing 442kg. That's why I chose to use a bear model that can be ascribed to "spring condition" in the comparison above.

I marked the tree after which I scaled the two with a red line; the lower part of the tree is at 56px in both pictures to give an accurate representation of how they would look like next to each other.

What are the estimated weights of the asiatic bear and leopard in this comparison? I'm not sure about the bear, but the leopard is a North Chinese one or better said since 2017 an Amur leopard. There's is some weight data regarding Amur leopards in Russia: Another male of 5-6 years weighed 62kg as well. Internet figures vary from source to source: some give a range of 32-48 kg, others 50-60kg. I want to add that the North Chinese leopard lives scattered in this part of China. Some populations are well protected and leopards have even the luxury of hunting free ranging cattle and wild boar (one male was rumoured to have killed a 200kg wild boar). The reported wild boar killer, known as "M2": In an individual with a cow kill: An individual with a calf kill: An impressive male during summer time, here you can they're good-sized even without the thick fur: The CFCA (China Felid Conservation Alliance) estimated big males in certain regions (e.g. Liupanshan mountain area) could possibly weigh 70-80kg. Here's a big individual from the Liupanshan mountain area: TL;DR that leopard should weigh somewhere in between 50-80kg. It's hard to judge due to its position in the camera trap.
