I notice that the muzzle of this Amur brown bear ( posts 360 and 361 ) is convex, like that of a black bear, and not the typical dish-face of a grizzly. Perhaps just an example of the variety and individuality of Ursus arctos.
I believe that the grizzlies of British Columbia to be the biggest inland grizzlies of North America.

Black bear have straighter profiles while that of the polar bears are more curved concave down. Carnivorous cave bears were similar.

This burly old scarred up brute swam about a mile to a bird rookery and commenced to devour glaucous winged gull chicks and eggs as our guests watched squeamishly! Nature isn’t always kind.  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author
The picture above ( #372 ) reminds me of the strongly believed myth that a bear cannot run downhill. They can do so with ease.

This bear has passed through the lodge grounds once or twice every summer for a few years now. He appears to have NO ears! We’re not sure if this unique feature was from birth or from fights, but he’s a beauty non-the-less.  *This image is copyright of its original author Maybe he was born like this, like the lion Earless from the Mara.

We have posted a lot of bear shots from Alaska and almost all of them have been sows with cubs. We did spend a bit of time around the big male bears as well. Here is by far the biggest bear we saw the whole trip. Its hard to capture his size in a photo, but this tight shot tells quite a story. His ears are nearly gone and his face is covered with scars from battles with other boars over female bears. I can't imagine how hard life is for these bruins, spending most of their time alone, and fighting for much of the rest. These awesome animals are a testament of beauty, toughness, and wilderness. We're so blessed to be able to experience these amazing animals and are truly lucky when they come close, look us in the eyes, and give us a look into their souls.  *This image is copyright of its original author
