[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 518548, member: 4191"] Cheetah's are the fastest land mammal I'm aware of and their top speed is around 65 mph. Bear's are quick, but I'm quite certain the only way a bear is gonna move 65 mph is in free fall off the face of a cliff. If there was ever a boar brown bear the size you've described, he'd have long outlived his usefulness in the gene pool, because he'd kill any sow during the mating action. Would love to see some pictures of the brown bear hide that squared 16 feet. Or 18 feet. There has to be somebody that was impressed enough to snap a photograph. If nothing else, a taxidermist somewhere, somehow, has got to have a photo. You've just described - at minimum - six bears that would have made world wide news, if their sizes had been documented in any way. They'd certainly have made the front cover of Alaska Magazine. I've never heard of anything of the kind, let alone seen any photos. I've never heard even one rumor of a bear as big as six of the bears you've referenced. Been in Seward in the summer of 1976 and on the Kenai Peninsula for the past 33 years. I've heard a lot of bear stories over the years, from all parts of the State, but yours are the mother of all bear tales - 6 times over. I"ll give you this... your stories of the big Alaskan brown and black bears will certainly make for some good campfire conversation, if anyone will risk repeating them. [/QUOTE]
