Revised version in better quality
On the cover of the Domain of the Bears, I think that this picture would look good in the place of the brown bears dueling in the water. Your thoughts?

Here is a comparison using more "realistic models" of the two animals if you will; those were created by a "DeviantArt" user called "serchio25", he did a great job imo! Arctodus Simus - Ursus Spelaeus (largest possible sizes)
Or... if the other admin prefer not to advertise face-off topics, I love this comparison picture too.

Polar bear and grizzly bear. Boldchamp created this picture years ago on Wild Animal Elite (the forum no longer exist).

Definately not the biggest polar bear from the looks of it.

Nicely done nocap'. Yes, very little fossil evidence to go on for Ursus ( arctos ) pricus, Ursus maritimus tyrannus, or Ursus Ursus Ingressus. But what you have here is really good.

nocapakablReply #447, good comparisons, but just couple of things though.
That phrase you put at #1, you just copied that from TheUndertaker correct?
domainofthebears.proboards.com/post/46584/thread
Also, i know not many people know this, but we have recently found out that Ursus Ingressus is much larger than Spelaeus and right up there with the Short faced bears.

King Kodiaki didn't include Ursus Ingressus As there have been very few remains found, and i couldn't find any reasonable Estimate on its shoulder height. could you show me the source for that? and yes, i got it from Theundertaker.

nocapakablLet me try to find you our debate and sources about Ingressus. But no, you wont see a shoulder height, i dont think we have that.

Reply 711. Honestly, it is up to you guys although I wonder why would a tiger be used on the forum skin since this is Domain of the Bears.
I think the picture on Reply 712 will be much better.

I would never want to stand close to these crocs.

Both snakes are just as long but the green anaconda is a lot thicker.

I would never want to stand close to these crocs. Especially that bottom one. 33 ft long and probably as big as the croc in the movie Lake Placid.
