The text illustrates the size comparison between a human, a black bear, a brown bear, and a polar bear, stating that the polar bear is the largest predatory mammal on the planet.
Infact verdict: Mixed (53/100).
The claim that the polar bear is the largest predatory mammal on the planet is supported by multiple sources stating that it is the largest land carnivore. However, the claim is slightly misleading as it does not account for marine mammals like the orca, which are larger and also predatory. Therefore, while the polar bear is the largest land carnivore, it is not the largest predatory mammal overall.

Science
The polar bear is the largest predatory mammal on the planet.
The polar bear is indeed the largest land carnivore, as confirmed by multiple sources such as the National Wildlife Federation and Discover Wildlife. However, the claim is misleading because it does not consider marine mammals like the orca, which are larger and also predatory. Thus, the claim is partly true but misleading.
