Worlds Largest Grizzly Bear

Posted by admin
September 20, 2008

Ray Massey – Forest Service Spokesman Alaska Region:
If the bear sat down in a room with you, and was flat on his behind on the floor, and tipped it’s nose up, his head would be through a normal ceiling by about a foot or two. If this bear stood up, as reported in the web, it could be watching you take a shower on the second floor of your home.

Narrator:
And there was more. A photograph of gnawed human remains. According to the internet, the last man eaten by the giant bear, shot on Hinchinbrook Island. This story of a monster man-eating bear astonished web surfers around the world. Especially the hunter who shot the bear. He doesnt know how the bear he killed got to be the worlds biggest bear in cyberspace. It was big. But not that big.

Actual Hunter:
In relation to the world record he wound up only being short by 2 inches and uh 2/16ths of an inch which put him at the rank of 145 out of the 347 of the largest, worlds largest bears ever taken. Ya know I got to get that straight. He’s still a record he’s just not the world record.

Narrator:
But what about that other photo claiming to show the Hinchinbrook bears last meal?

Actual Hunter:
Thats another picture that gets associated with my bear. That has nothing to do with my bear. As far as I know this bear didnt, ya know, kill nobody or maul nobody.

Narrator:
So where did the photo come from? Bear experts took a closer look and discovered that, wherever this man died, it probably wasn’t anywhere near Alaska.

Dr. Tom Smith – Research Wildlife Biologist USGS Alaska Science Center:
If you look at the vegetation in there it’s not quite tropical but it certainly is not Alaskan. It appeared to be the victim of a tiger attack from the Indian sub-continent.

Narrator:
The super-size Hinchinbrook bear is a myth from cyberspace.

The man that is showed mauled in the photo is not related to the bear itself. That photo was attached somewhere along the way when the story was circulating. This article has 4 pages in total. The very end of the article has the transcripts from an interview with the hunter who shot the bear. Here’s the entire article on a single page http://waterandwoods.net/2008/09/worlds-largest-grizzly-bear/all/1

Worlds biggest grizzly killed by a coward with an ego problem. Now, this big grizzly cannot reproduce and make more big grizzly bears.

this is to toby norman you are an absolute idiot to call him a coward , let me guess you would stand there with your gun in hand while the grizzly was charging you not firing a shot and let the bear keep charging still not firing a shot and watch it until it finally reached you and absolutelly ripped you a part without letting up until you were dead if he is a coward for shooting him then i guess i would be a coward and alive and you would be a idiot and dead

The bear never killed attacked or ate anyone that officials or the hunter know about.

As noted from a television show on National Geographic with the actual hunter that killed the bear.

Narrator:
But what about that other photo claiming to show the Hinchinbrook bears last meal?

Actual Hunter:
Thats another picture that gets associated with my bear. That has nothing to do with my bear. As far as I know this bear didnt, ya know, kill nobody or maul nobody.

1915 – 1.8 Billion people
2009 – 6.8 Billion people
Past 94 years – 5 Billion people
Next 500 years – 32 Billion people or more
Problems – Poverty, starvation, global warming, hole in ozone layer, crime, polution, land destruction
Solution – “STOP CREATING”!!!
If people continue to over populate there will be no bears left in the wild. They will either be killed off or they will end up in a zoo.

Duh. If you actually read the article it says that the last picture wasn;t associated with the bear attack or even that bear or even that area of the country.
