@maia_shops: Deep in the wilderness of Alaska lives an animal so massive that, from a distance, it can almost look unreal. The Kodiak bear is one of the largest bears on Earth. The biggest males can weigh well over 1,000 pounds, and when standing upright, exceptionally large individuals can approach 10 feet tall. For generations, their enormous size has inspired stories of bears far larger than anything officially recorded—giants supposedly encountered deep in the forests of the Kodiak Archipelago, far away from roads or settlements. Hunters have told stories of enormous footprints appearing along isolated trails, trees marked far above a person’s head, and bears so large that people initially mistook their silhouettes for something else entirely. Most of those stories remain exactly that: legends. But the animal behind them is very real. And perhaps that’s what makes the stories so unsettling. Because when you’re alone in the Alaskan wilderness and something enormous begins moving between the trees… you don’t need a mythical monster. A Kodiak bear is already big enough. 🐻 #fyp
