Abstract:

Zoometric measurements and organ weights of 13 black bears used as experimental animals in the B-58 escape capsule development program are reported. These data are intended for use in future experiments where external dimensions of the test animal are required and for useful information in determining the comparability of the black bear to man in terms of biodynamics characteristics.
