How tall is Polar bear?

A little more perspective
The zoo gives three meters for a large male standing on its hind legs and separately lists shoulder height as 100–150 centimeters. This record uses the upright description. It is a rounded example, not a record-sized individual, and does not mean that every adult male reaches precisely three meters.
The illustration keeps both hind feet on one level, with the forepaws lowered. This is a different measurement and pose from a bear walking on four legs. The polar bear’s long neck and relatively streamlined body remain visible without inferring a measured body length from the drawing.
