Ronald, brown bears are way bigger and are only found as far east as western Alberta. Grizzly bears are brown bears. If one wandered across my front lawn the way that black one did in my video above, I would have reacted the same way as my SIL did. She was a guest in the cottage next door and didn’t leave the place for a week.
One time in the Yukon I got out of my rental to photograph some cubs that were grizzly. Mom was further down the road. The Chief I was visiting later said, and I quote: “You’re a fucking idiot and lucky to be alive. She runs 30 miles an hour, faster than you.”
Ha! Hope you got the shot. From my running days when mean dogs would come after us, in a a situation like that, you only need to be faster than whoever you are with!
Love bears. We name them in our particular version of paradise.

Nifty photo. He/she looks like a youngster.
Blackbears must be on the warning list for
that area. Lock up the garbage can, quick.
Robert,
On visual inspection, is it easy to tell a blackbear from a brownbear? Haven’t got a clue. Thanks.
