Well I wanted it to be larger than any bear ... So I'd figure I would Alaskan it, (if it's big in Texas, it's bigger in Alaska)

and actually, he's a little bigger. Elephants are arround 2.8m to 3.3m (and Goliath is a little larger than that). You said you creature was arround 2 m, so Goliath is actually bigger (way bigger)
