    I don’t know. People distinguish between brown bears and grizzly bears but I don’t have the knowledge to tell the difference.

      I actually have read up on ways to distinguish the two. For example, brown bears have a hump on their back that black bears don’t…which makes me think this is a grizzly.

      Grizzly bears are inland brown bears. All grizzly are brown bears, but not all brown bears are grizzlys. Also color isn’t a reliable indicator in all regions. Grizzlys tend to be more aggressive than brown bears with reliable food sources like salmon runs.
