I suspect a proper bestiary supplement will either have attribute ranges, or note that black bears can fit in a given range, and then give stats for a small and a large bear, or give stats for one, and lenses to adjust it to the other, or some other way of covering more data points. See, for example, GURPS Dragons, which gives minilenses for different sizes of dragon.

Stating that a spotted hyena can range from 80 lbs to 250 lbs, and ST 6 to ST 14, and that males are smaller than females is... well... informative... but it does nothing for the GM. If I say "OK, I need a pack of hyenas, 4 females, 4 males, and it's been a lean year because the dark lord has burned everything to the ground so they're going to be scrawny" - I have no idea if the females should be 100 lbs or 200 lbs, and what ST rating they should be, and if that's scrawny or emaciated or fat or what.
