Chapter 1: An encounter with Jotunn.
It is now jotunn mating season, the male yellowish white bears are now fighting to death. The six year old males which are sexually mature are excluded from mating season as they do not possess the size or strength to fight with the full grown eight to ten year old males, unless of course they are exceptionally large.
Tank was one of the few bears who had ever crossed path with jotunns and he mated with a few females. While he was able to fight off an average male Jotunn which weighs 1200 pounds, a large 2200 pound male polar bear is able to drive off Tank from Jotunn territory.

Chapter 2: Tank's birth.
A 700 pound female bruin emerged from her den with two male cubs. The older one was named Tank by the alien greys. Tank was the more aggressive of the cubs while the younger one is more shy and timid.
A female bruin is very aggressive and will defend her cubs to the death like a female grizzly on earth.

Chapter 3: A protective mother.
Tank and his brother were nearly killed by a Samurai. Their mother arrived just on time and chased off the Sabre tooth samurai cat. This once again proves that few animals will defend their cubs as aggressively as a Bruin.

Chapter 4: More Samurais.
More Samurai sabre toothed cats kept coming, the female Bruin knew she could not take on all of them. Nevertheless, she was willing to defend her cubs till the very end.
All of a sudden, a giant male bruin rushed in a scattered the sabre toothed cats. He shared a brief affection with Tank and his brother before disappearing into the rivers, probably swimming to West Mammothia where the Titans live.

Chapter 4: Ussuri repeats itself.
A few days later, Tank comes across the big male Bruin which had saved his life again. This time Bruin had displaced a tiger from its kill before taking over. It was almost like the male Ussuri brown bear usurping a male Amur tiger of its kill.
Tank saw the male Bruin eating and wanted to help himself but was stopped by his mother in the nick of time.

Chapter 5: Independence.
At two years old, Tank and his brother left their mother before going their seperate ways. Unusually large for a Bruin who is not full grown, Tank was able to live his life usurping prey from weaker predators. He was also capable of digging the ground for rodents,roots, and other things.
Tank migrated further north while his brother moved further down Memmothia.

Chapter 6: Sexual maturity.
Tank finally reached sexual maturity at 4.5 years old. Not yet strong enough to take on a fully grown ten year old male Bruin, he opt to mate with a young female Bruin.
Tank still prove himself to be the strongest and most aggressive of the young wild bruins. At his age, he was already heavier than the female bruins (most of them).

Chapter 7: A clash with a larger male.
Bruin went to the river to fish for salmon. Watching the older males, he quickly learned how to fish but he was standing in the spot of a resident male. The older male bruin beat up Tank and thought him his place in the pecking order.

Chapter 9: Rising to the top.
Overtime, Tank reached the top of the rank. At 10 years old he was now 1800 pounds and the dominant male in his area.
He became the new dominant male after killing off the older dominant male.
He now has the best fishing spots and has more room to grow.

Chapter 10:Love is in the air.
Mating season is close, however, a scent further north attracts Tank. Heading northwards, he finds a female yellowish white bear which immediately courts him.
Tank heads towards her and they enjoy a time of romance. However, he is not without competition. Yellowish white male bears are heading towards them.
While usually non territorial, Jotunn is most aggressive during mating season and they will fight even to the death to win the heart of a female.

Chapter 11: The fight with Jotunns.
Tank found himself caught up in a war with the jotunns of the north. At 1800 pounds, he was heavier than even a large male Jotunn and therefore defeated all his challengers even killing a large male 1760 pound yellowish white bear after a good fight.
He then proceeded to mate with the female yellowish white bear. The courship lasted for a week until a huge 2200 pound male jotunn arrived.
This exceptionally large polar bear (even by Jotunn standards) gave Tank a beating and drove him out of his territory but its too late as the bruin had already impregnated at least ten female jotunns.

Chapter 12: Back home.
A defeated Tank headed back to the south. Realising that there is still room to grow, Tank will be back with a vengeance. There is still room for him to grow all the way up to 15 years old.
He had beaten almost every opponent he had fought with except an older male bruin (which he killed years later) and the exceptionally large male jotunn.
