A little more perspective
Alaska Department of Fish and Game distinguishes a large Kodiak male’s shoulder height on all fours from its ten-foot height on hind legs. This scene selects the latter. The exact conversion is 3.048 meters, while the original whole-foot description remains rounded and describes a large male rather than every brown bear.
The illustration uses a relaxed upright pose with forepaws lowered. Its head crown sets the upper marker; raising a forepaw would not increase this selected standing reference. Interior grizzlies and other brown-bear populations need their own size references rather than automatically inheriting a large Kodiak value.
