The shape of the distribution is bell-shaped. This is because the distribution presents a normal distribution

The distribution is almost symmetrically skewed with no outlier

The center is about 60 inches(about 59 wild bears before the center and about 84 wild bears beyond the center)

The distribution is widely spread: The data range is the highest inches minus the lowest inches

Therefore, the spread of the distribution is 85 inches - 35 inches, which equals 50 inches.
