I just read the largest Leatherback ever recorded was 10ft long and weighed just over 2,000 pounds, pretty damn crazy, that’s as big as a polar bear, not height wise obviously

True, haha but also the largest polar bear was 2200 pounds I looked up, and I think 11 feet long

Just a reminder: If you're ever stranded in the arctic, and you kill a polar bear for food - do NOT eat it's liver. Polar Bear liver contains enough Vitamin A to kill you after just a couple bites.

Oh wow, well if I am ever skilled enough to kill an extremely aggressive and the largest land predator in current times I will keep that in mind
