Cristina,

What a fabulous picture!!! So very, very exciting!! Can't wait till my students discover it!! By the way, thanks for answering their questions. The question about the weight had to do with overweight bears. Have you come across any that fall above the parameters??

Hi Michele!Thanks for the clarification about the weigh question -
I think the thing with bears is that the heavier they are, the better
for them in terms of insulation and surviving times where food is hard
to access.
I personally have not seen a very large bear - just average. But I know
the team has personally seen a female bear that was around 700 pounds,
where the female average is 550 pounds.
Hope that answers the question,
Cristina
