I wonder if they would install me as Queen of Tasmania?

Didn’t think so, but it was worth trying.

[luvie]

You having an uneventful evening?

No more rattler baby rattles?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Lady J....how's Boston and environs? That's a big bear!

What is the world's largest bear?

The polar bear has an average weight of 900 to 1,500 pounds and is considered the world's largest bear with the brown bear, averaging 500 to 900 pounds a close second. The largest polar bear ever recorded was shot in Kotzebue Sound, Alaska in 1960 weighing a grizzly 1002 kilograms or 2,210 pounds and stood 11 feet 11 inches in height.

The largest brown bear, a Kodiak bear, which is a subspecies of the brown bear, weighed in at over 2,500 pounds and was almost 14 feet tall.

[La Enchiladita]

Well.... isn’t that special?
