Grizzly Bear kills a moose in this guy's driveway...Series of 3 videos not particularly graphic (so the squeamish shouldn't vomit)

that's a brown bear which makes it even more strange! brown bears usually scavenge for their food it is unusual for one to attack a moose.

Ah...the AP article called it a Grizzly...The article in the Homer paper called it a Brown...I dunno the difference...Both species being rare on the ground in Louisiana...

a grizzly is an offshoot species of a brown bear. you can tell the difference from the silver highlights in their fur.

the most meat a brown bear usually eats is any fish it can catch and small things like squirrels.

I thought we only had black bears in our neck of the woods? (and even then only when they get lost trying to find the picnic baskets

)

As far as I am aware, Brown = Grizzly = Kodiak. The difference is habit rather than genetic. Grizzly bears are the interior bears, Brown bears are the generic costal version, and Kodiak are loosely the costal Alaskan variety. Size and minor color differences are variations within the same species and not necessarily something that would distinguish one from the other as a rule.

Everyone knows that brown bears do not equal kodiaks. Brown bears are lvl 9, and kodiaks are lvl 14. They also can hit for 22 damage, as opposed to the brown bear's 10 damage. Get your facts straight.

Those distinctions are all level and gear based rather than racial traits.

grizzlies and kodiaks are sub species of brown bears but they are genetically different. there are also huge differences in size, diet, behavior, fur density, color and the fact that they are not the same fucking thing.

it is like saying a mako shark and a white shark are the same thing because they both are gray and have fins and teeth.

Either way, Grizzlies, Kodiaks, Brown Bears and whatnot, have a more respectable benchpress than a moose, or even a squirrel for that matter, and that's what counts.

Subspecies can freely interbreed. By defiinition, they tend to be differentiated by minor morphological differences, geographic range and/or habitat. Where they overlap they can interbreed and produce fertile offspring when they do so.
