I don't know if there will be any grizzlies in the future with the way we destroy our habitats (just kidding, there will be some), but they will most likely evolve into the more Arctodus-like body type since their food sources will be very few in between extremely far distances.

Europe is a much more closed environment, and there are a lot of humans condensed in one small continental mass. Protein food sources are smaller and less abundant there than even modern America, so the grizzlies will most likely adapt to vegetation much like the Western European cave bears. Reply
