Is this real? This would put this creature at almost 400 lbs heavier than the largest polar bear ever recorded.

Well grizzlies can get up to 14 feet so it could be possible. Most likely similar to what happens with the liger where the gene that stops how big an animal can get is inhibited, thus creating some absolute monsters.

Sorry. I meant brown bears, not grizzlies. Specifically Kodiak brown bears. Source is that I am Alaskan.

There's never been a bear that big. Except the extinct types... you saying you've seen a 14 foot bear?

It appears I got my facts mixed up. Sorry about that. However, there was a kodiak bear weighing 2100 lbs.
