I was scrolling down like ""oh that's pretty big bear," and then I got to 747...0.O. Holyyyyy that dude is a fuckin hoss to begin with and his belly is dragging with the weight of fish meat. He can barely walk.

The website referred to him as one of the largest brown bears on earth.

He's so big that he doesn't need to do anything with most other bears to assert dominance:
"In order to minimize conflict, bears establish a hierarchy where the most dominant bears gain the best access to fishing locations and mating opportunities. Unlike many bears, 747’s size alone is enough to intimidate most bears to yield their space."
