Wow! This really puts the size of Arctodus simus into perspective. What a huge carnivore. !

Really good stuff nocapakabl. There is no arguing who dominates in this match-up.

The title of the comparison says what's needed to know;

Ursus deningeri, Deninger’s cave bear, was a medium-sized cave bear probably ancestral to the classic cave bear. I really like this showing of animals all of which lived in the same general location during the same time period.

I really like this showing of animals all of which lived in the same general location during the same time period. Ursus ingerrus must be the largest cave bear then. If the extinct bears were to come back to life, these far north will interbreed with the polar bear.

Shoulder Heights are 100cm for the Bengal tiger and 121cm for the Kodiak bear.

This gives the Coastal brown bear a shoulder height of 4.5 feet ( 137.16 cm ). Different sources give different measurements. I was thinking these are average; maybe not. I do know that the max-sized Kodiaks are just under 5 feet high ( 152.40 cm ). Your thoughts?

brobear Currently there are 3 samples upon which we could draw a potential estimation for the average shoulder height of coastal grizzlies/Kodiak bears. We have 193kg Yellowstone grizzlies standing at 95cm, 264kg Ussuri brown bears standing at 115cm and 268kg Eurasian brown bears standing at 110cm; so if we take the average relationship of shoulder height to body weight out of those three an average coastal grizzly/Kodiak bear weighing about 350-360kg (5y+) would be roughly 121cm tall on all fours. The 4ft 5in you suggested would already mean that it would be a huge bear of around 500kg; so maybe this height would be appropriate for a fully grown male of those. For your interest, there is a sample of Alaskan Peninsula brown bears (average weight of 357kg) being measured for HB-length and shoulder height; unfortunately over the curves and with extended arms. The results were 244cm over the curves and 133cm tall; 244cm over the curves would equate to roughly 204cm in a straight line and the 133cm of shoulder height with extended paws can then be reasonably reduced to around 121cm

I think this is one comparison everyone here will like. 😀
