Reply # 254 ( Visual SIZE Comparison of Bears ): notice the skull lengths. Even though the polar bear is heavier than the Kodiak bear at average, the Kodiak has a skull length of 360-460 mm, while the polar has 330-450 mm.

Reply #1 - WORLD'S RECORDS GRIZZLY BEAR: Greatest length of skull without lower jaw: 17 4/16 Greatest width of skull: 10 9/16 SCORE: 27 13/16 WORLD'S RECORDS ALASKA BROWN BEAR: Greatest length of skull without lower jaw: 17 15/16 Greatest width of skull: 12 13/16 SCORE: 30 12/16 This record grizzly skull ( inland grizzly ) was not killed by a hunter but was found by a hunter. It was a very rare discovery of a grizzly skull from the days when grizzlies followed the massive bison herds. Less than one inch difference in length from the *record Kodiak bear skull. Roughly two inches narrower in width. Consider that this is a discovery of a random bear - not likely the "biggest bear in the woods" - which would be a huge coincidence - and it is a Kodiak bear sized grizzly. The skull has a narrower shape. The grizzly populations which tend to be the most carnivorous tend to have narrow skulls. ( more polar bear-like ).

I mentioned here that the 3 biggest bears ever known to have lived in the Holocene are the Kodiak and (recently extinct) Californian brown bears of North America and the polar bear (which is present in the extreme north of Russia and Europe), in terms of maximum reported weights, but not necessarily in terms of breadth of skull. The largest of the Eurasian brown bears, that is the Kamchatka brown bear, has a skull which is broader than that of its Ussuri relative, and compared to that of the Kodiak bear, the breadth of the skull is much greater in proportion to its length, the anterior narial opening is much shorter, and the molars differ in relative size and form. The greatest skull length for males is 40.3–43.6 cm (15.9–17.2 inches), and they are 25.8–27.7 cm (10.2–10.9 inches) wide, while the skulls of females measure 37.2–38.6 cm (14.6–15.2 inches) in length and 21.6–24.2 cm (8.5–9.5 inches) in width: pubs.aina.ucalgary.ca/arctic/Arct...pdf#page=8, archive.org/stream/mammalsofsov2.../kamchatkaDespite being fairly large, weighing up to 650 kg (1,433 lbs) or more for males, Kamchatkan bears are generally not dangerous to humans, and only 1% of encounters result in attack. The first Europeans who went to Kamchatka in the 19th century, although surprised by the number and size of bears there, observed that they were relatively harmless, compared to their East Siberian counterparts. However, in July 2008, a platinum-mining compound in the Olyutorsky District of Kamchatka Krai was besieged by a group of 30 bears who killed two guards and prevented workers from leaving their homes: archive.org/stream/mammalsofsov2.../kamchatka, www.bearbiology.com/fileadmin/tpl..._Vol_9.pdf, www.kamchatkapeninsula.com/bear.html, www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/wo...387144.eceKamchatkan bear near Dvuhyurtochnoe Lake, credit: Robert F.

What are the chances of this bear being a giant among his own kind? That would be like a thousand years from now, a human skull is found ( the only one ) and it just happens to be the skull of Andre the giant. Very unlikely. No; this grizzly skull of the "old bison hunters" was most likely a typical specimen of his kind; which was bigger than the record-sized mountain grizzly of today. About half-way in size between the Kodiak bear and a Yellowstone grizzly.
