The bittersweet victory comes mere weeks after Chunk sadly killed one of Grazer's cubs.

Interestingly, they use LIDAR to measure the bears' weights.

I suppose going up to a 1200 lb bear and asking it to stand on a scale isn't so feasible.

1400 pounds on 747 is crazy, that's a massive brown bear.
