They call him Grandpa, he lives in Angoon Alaska. On all fours, top his shoulders to ground, is 6 1/2 ft. which means when he stands up, on top his head to ground, is 13 ft. His DNA tested out as hybrid, a mix between Polar bear and Black bear. They figure his weight to be at least 2650 lbs

See Cliffy, the Polar will survive ............in slightly different form .......but they'll still be around.

Perhaps a female black bear saw one and decided that was a good way to make sure her cubs were the ones eating rather than being eaten.

For the ones that like to see the 'hunted' win once in awhile.
