Bear Size ~

[brotherbear]

Grizzly bears are big bears; some very big. They are top of the food chain predators. However, with the exception of those coastal populations which feed heavily on salmon, they are not prehistoric-sized giants. During the Pleistocene in North America, the grizzly coexisted with giant short-faced bears. However, in the end, the short-faced bear's great size may have contributed to his demise.   http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2016/...pes-giant/ 
I will edit and add: my favorite bears are not the coastal giant brown bears most often seen on nature documentaries, but the smaller and fiercer inland grizzlies.
