Bears of the Pleistocene

[brotherbear]

Tigerluver, this fossil evidence would suggest that the grizzly bears of the Pleistocene were no larger than inland brown bears of today. However, it takes more than this small amount of evidence to draw any real conclusions. There must certainly be more than this handfull of grizzly fossils.
It will take more than this to completely convence me that a grizzly, with a nose estimated to be seven times more acute than that of a bloodhound, would ignore the smell of a mammoth carcass and be satisfied with eating acorns and digging for ground squirrels.
