The ignorance displayed by the OP in that thread was astounding to say the least.

Now imagine yourself trying to fight off 100 midgets.

I did some work in that area a few years back, and was warned occasionally about bear problems. I am so happy I never ran into that beast.

The second pic makes the bear look fucking huge.

This is what it would be like if Christopher Nolan directed Winnie the Pooh.

Lol, this is just awesome.

Was that really a grizzle or just a brown bear? Grizzlies are typically smaller.

And the polar bear is the biggest bear, but the Brown bear is considered by some the largest land predator because the polar bear is really amphibious spending most of it’s time in the water.

Either way a 1300 pound brown bear is going to be larger than a lot of polar bears.

Also on an interesting note, brown bears and polar bears can supposedly interbred. It would be cool if this one was a mix too: MSN

Question: Which bear is best?

There is the spirit bear in BC, Canada that is a genetic difference in brown bears giving them a white coat.

Personally, I think the only reason that this bear is so large is it ate animals that were farmed. Easy kill, easy 100,000 calories. Also grizzly bears have that feature of a hump between there shoulder blades which you can tell that this bear has in one of the photos. I’m not a bear expert but just what I can see and conclude from.

Alberta has no brown bears being it is not on the coast. It was a grizz although they are essentially the same animal.

I always saw the ‘grizzly’ as being merely a larger subspecies of the brown bear which dwells here as well.

close enough?

On a use of a bear that size, it’d make a baddass 2 man halloween costume…

Iron Midgets?

Damnit Danial-san, you beat me to that link. That story is hilarious. What idiots decided that it would be a good idea to fight a 500lb apex-level predator whose main evolutionary function was to fuck shit up wherever it went?

That bear is monster, and it would make a fantastic robe. Keep the claws and head on, and go walk around town in it.

No, grizzlies and brown bears are the same species. They are all really just brown bears. We just typically call them differently based on where they live, coastal vs inland.

And typically, grizzlies are smaller, but more aggressive.
