I knew they were big bears but not TWICE A HUMAN size! I didn't even google this image for the polar bear I wanted to see how big a black bear is.

guess I'm never going to Antarctica!

edit: okay we got ANOTHER TIL. Apparently polar bears don't live in Antarctica!

...I need to watch more nature documentaries...

    From what I'm reading now, I've seen some big ones. Comparing the adults to dogs or raccoons though, to me still seems fairlly incorrect. Dogs can be really big, but a 7 foot nose to toes bear isn't super rare from what I can tell.
