Absolute Units

Things that you’re in awe at the size of.

Absolute Unit: an Animal, Public Figure or Object who is larger than one would normally expect.

Rules

Absolute units, not normal units. More detailed definitions here

No creepshots / fat shaming pics allowed. Mainly the subjects are animals, but big foods and objects, like statues, are also allowed. If you are submitting humans, only public figures are allowed, and not only to showcase that they are fat, they must be also large in stature; no harassment or creepshots; fat-shaming is strictly prohibited.

while mild NSFW stuff is allowed (as long as its put in it's own tag when posting), anything more than that (and borderline NSFL) is straight up banned. This includes stuff that is sexual in nature, gory, anything not very palpable for the eyes.

Don't forget to follow the rules in your server

Is that a cross between a polar and a grizzly?

It looks like it to me, based on past photos.

Any idea which bear this is? I know some parks keep track of their bear populations, like Katmai National Park with Fat Bear Week. This one does resemble 2023's winner 128-Grazer

The photo is by nature photographer Pier van den Bemd, from his Instagram. He says it's in Norway, and that he's "by far the heaviest polar bear" he'd ever seen.
