Make sure you read the info before you look at the pictures....
The following (first two) pictures are of a guy who works for the US Forest Service in Alaska and his trophy bear. He was out deer Hunting when a large grizzly bear charged him from about 50 yards away. The guy emptied his 7mm Magnum semi-automatic rifle into the bear and it dropped a few feet from him. The big bear was still alive so he reloaded and shot it several times in the head. The bear was just over one thousand six hundred pounds. It stood 12' 6" high at the shoulder, 14' to the top of his head. It's the largest grizzly bear ever recorded in the world. Of course, the Alaska Fish and Wildlife Commission did not let him keep it as atrophy, but the bear will be stuffed and mounted, and placed on display at the Anchorage airport (to remind tourist's of the risks involved when in the wild). Based on the contents of the bear's stomach, the Fish and Wildlife Commission established the bear had killed at least two humans in the past 72 hours. His last meal was the unlucky nature buff in the third picture below. The US Forest Service, backtracking from where the bear had originated, found the hiker's 38-caliber pistol emptied. Not far from the pistol was the remains of the hiker. The other body has not been found. Although the hiker fired six shots and managed to hit the grizzly with fourshots (they ultimately found four 38 caliber slugs along with twelve 7mm slugs inside the bear's dead body), it only wounded the bear and probably angered it. The bear killed the hiker an estimated two days prior to the bear's own death by the gun of the Forest Service worker.
Think about this - If you are an average size man: You would be level with the bear's belly button when he stood upright, the bear would look you in the eye when it walked on all fours! To give additional perspective, consider that this particular bear, standing on its hind legs, could walk up to an average single story house and look over the roof, or walk up to a two story house and look in the bedroom windows.
I warn you: The following pictures are VERY graphic. If you have a weak stomach, or are just plain weak (I'm looking at you, SummonLemming). If it is considered too graphic, then may the mods please remove it.
The first one...Look how ****ing big his paw is!

WARNING: The following image is VERY graphic. It may be considered as too graphic to be posted here and will possibly be removed, but please, if you are faint-hearted, DO NOT LOOK! You have been warned.
This would make for a good Nike ad, as his shoe actually survived. So did his rather large genitals. It's a pity about anything else.
