Apparently the largest ever Grizzly killed in the wild weighed 1,600 pounds.
The largest polar bear ever shot in the wild weighed 2,200 pounds.
I can’t imagine the fear humans had for these beasts prior to the invention of guns. I was reading recently that the original word for bear in some language, I can’t remember but I think it was Hungarian, has been lost to time because the people were too afraid to say it, fearing it would summon the bear lol
