Can confirm.I hear Arkansas is lying about the high numbers of grizzlies they have migrating from Colorado. The government doesn’t want you to know.
That was my experience as well. A griz is a griz, but a black bear...might be a griz.There were a bunch of black bears that I thought were Grizzly, but no Grizzly that I thought were black bears lol
From what I see (or don’t see) a young griz can have a less-dished nose and a less-defined shoulder hump, but both are still unmistakable on a side profile. The most distinguishing characteristic of a griz seems to be the huge claws.That was my experience as well. A griz is a griz, but a black bear...might be a griz.
That’s good advice. Big black bears can often have a pretty good shoulder hump too, especially when their head is down.From what I see (or don’t see) a young griz can have a less-dished nose and a less-defined shoulder hump, but both are still unmistakable on a side profile.

Young black bears seem to be easily distinguishable from griz by their Mickey Mouse ears. Mature bears of both species appear to me to have very similar, proportionately-small ears. A pumpkin-head black bear with a light-colored muzzle can have the illusion of a dished nose when viewed head on.
I like the side profile on a mature blackie to see the smooth shoulder and straight nose.
I was in the half of the class that made the top half possible. We would celebrate a strong C+.
