"Big Daddy"
State bear managers recently trapped a 7 foot, 6 inch male grizzly that weighed 750 pounds after a winter of hibernation.
Mike Madel, bear management specialist with the state Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks, said it took two scales and a hydraulic crane to weigh the 8-year-old bruin that had 3 1/2-inch claws and a neck circumference of 4 feet.
"This bear was just a beautiful bear," Madel said.
Madel said the big male with the bronze head, golden back and dark chocolate legs could weigh as much as 900 pounds by the fall. (Serena Williams??!!?)
Madel captured the bear he dubbed "Big Daddy," on May 24. He also said "Big Daddy" hasn't reached its full size, "He's got some growing to do.”
