When I'm bored and feeling uber geeky I try, sometimes, to imagine what it would be like if I were suddenly faced with the Animorphs in morph. Hopefully during one of the more tame times, like when Rachel was mopping the floor in grizzly morph, and not during an all out battle. Still, part of this imagining process involves imagining the SIZE of all these animals packed into a small place (a la David's bedroom?).
Think about it: A tiger. A gorilla. A wolf. A grizzly. An Andalite. And a hawk, for good measure.
Now, picture that and look at these pictures of a grizzly bear recently killed in self-defense in Alaska. Warning, the images are a bit graphic.

This is the largest ever recorded grizzly bear. It stood 12'6" at the shoulder and 14' standing. Based on the contents of its stomach, it had killed two humans prior to being shot.
Think about this:If you are an average size man; You would be level with the bear's navel when he stood upright The bear would look you in the eye when it walked on all fours! To give additional perspective, consider that this particular bear, standing on its hind legs, could walk up to an average single story house and look over the roof, or walk up to a two story house and look in the bedroom windows.
Gives me a WHOLE new respect for Rachel's Grizzly morph......
