Sloth Bear

[brotherbear]

We should look at their physical bodies and also consider their daily activities. The grizzly is built thicker and that shoulder hump is not for show, those are muscles that reinforces his otherwise very powerful upper-body strength. He spends many hours on a normal day digging in sometimes near-concrete-hard earth which is often riddled in tough tree-roots and heavy rocks. He sometimes excavates holes big enough to bury a septic tank. He also ( like the sloth bear ) rips open fallen trees for ants and termites and tears into bee hives for honey. He will spend hours overturning rocks, sometimes small boulders. Casey Anderson's grizzly, Brutus, easily pushed aside a one-ton boulder to get to some hidden fish. The grizzly ( Ursus arctos ) is built similar to his close relative, the cave bear; for brute strength, while remaining surprisingly quick and agile.
