Hello all, I'm going to find out how heavy both the Ursa Minor and Major are. I'm going to be taking values and methods from a friend who did a similar calc for another series. I'm not calculating the height, only the mass.

First off: The height of ponies. https://derpicdn.net/img/2014/1/31/539446/large.png This is a size chart with Cheese Sandwich and other ponies in front of it. The taller ponies are around 4 ft tall from the very base of their ears. I'm going to use the smaller pony as the height of a mare. Now while it's true the smaller pony is probably a stallion, but the tips of this small stallions ears reach the base of the ears of a normal stallion next to him. Whenever we see a mare and stallion side by side, the mare's ear tips also reach the base of the stallions ears, so I think this is a safe assumption.

I started from where the ear meets the head and went from there. The smaller pony was difficult since their head was obscured by their mane but I found a rough estimate.

251 / 241 = 1.04149378

Lefthand pony is 4 ft

4 / 1.04149378 = 3.84063745021 ft or 1.170626294824008 meters
I'm going to be using a Kodiak bear for comparison.

Height on hind legs = 753px = 3m

Nose width = 18px = 0.0717131474 meters

Weight = 450 kg

Just a few more images to go, one calcs the size of the Ursa Minors head, then comparing that to the snout of it's mother. Twilight stands at 70 pixels, but I need to take into account that she is standing at an angle. Accounting for the angle, the height becomes 80. The snout is 48 pixels, and the head is 242 pixels.

242 / 80 = 3.025

1.170626294824008 * 3.025 = 3.541 meters for the Minor's head height (this will be important for the Ursa Major scaling)

80 / 48 = 1.66666667

1.170626294824008 / 1.66666667 = 0.702375775 meters

0.702375775 / 0.0717131474 = 9.79423998x

Applying square cube law: 9.79423998^3 * 450 = 422,790.029 Kilograms.

Finally the Ursa Major. Second verse, same as the first. Major's snout is 45 pixels to the Minors head which is 34 pixels.

45 / 34 = 1.32352941

1.32352941 * 3.541 = 4.686 meters

Dividing this by the Kodiak's snout. 4.686 / 0.0717131474 = 65.34

Applying square cube law. 65.34^3 = 278957

450 * 278,957 = 125530650 kg Talk about massive.

What do they eat?
