Yup. They're big all right. When I was a young sprout (11 years old) I used to go to the Academy of Sciences, Steinhart Aquarium, and the Stimsin (Simpson?) African hall to look at all the mounted animals and fish.
One day as I walked in, I noticed a huge dark brown something at my right. They'd installed a mounted "Kodiak" bear right next to the front door. I'd heard that they were big from reading OUTDOOR LIFE. I did nit realize what "big" meant. I've never forgotten that bear.
