Yes, it was a large bear, made so by daily feeding by humans for many years. Apparently bear records are also kept by weight, or else the American Bear association would not say: "The world record weight for an American black bear is 880 pounds. This was the recorded weight of a 10.75 year-old male bear shot in North Carolina in November 1998." How would they know that if weight records were not kept?
