Size of this bear?
« on: July 14, 2023, 07:56:38 PM »
This guy came through my backyard here in Arlington.
Is this around 150 -175 or smaller?

He looks tiny and skinny to me.

My completely nonexpert opinion wonders if he'd break 100 pounds.

Young bear. I’d say 125-150, max.

He looks like a young bear to me also. My guess is he is closer to 100-125 lbs

Needs a couple years to gain some weight.

He looks anorexic for a bear this is time of year.

Tough angle to judge from but because you can see grass between the front legs and also between the front right paw and back left leg, it seems to have a very small belly. I’d agree with the guesses of about 100.
