Before the largest grizzly bear
was killed by an employee working for the US Forest service in Alaska using his 7mm Magnum semi-automatic rifle in 2005, it had just killed and ate at least two humans in the past 72 hours. This world's largest bear measured over one thousand six hundred pounds and stood 12′ 6″ high at the shoulder, 14′ to the top of his head. Instead let its employee keep this largest bear as a trophy, the Alaska Fish and Wildlife Commission has made it into a giant specimen and placed on display at the Anchorage Airport to remind tourists of the risks involved when in the wild.
