It's not an opinion. Mean is another term for average.
When they say "mean weight" they are saying "average weight", it's the same thing.
Go look up mean, median and mode.
I don't consider that weight figure a average since brown bears/kodiaks generally are smaller than 835 pounds as Common, 500-700 are there averages stated on multiple books that I provided, in comparisons to lions, 350-550 is there averages, 600 pounders are still not un-common and are what most who examine there weight figures consider there larger mean=Prime weights, excluding the fact that lions can get much larger depending on food intake, which is more than twice there weights from comparing averages to max 409 as there average and 1,000 as there max.
I don't see how the bear can be any different, his averages as brown bears are from 400-700 including all grizzlys sub-species, obese indivdiuals by doubling there weight as well, is still on the extreme of only 1,000-1,300 and thats pushing it since no bear has still yet to have been confirmed in a proper weighing method.
