Yes, and I charged a Grizzly.
I have seen black bears but never charged one. |

Obviously, Black Bears are significantly smaller, they can look very different physically. Big ears, little ears, long snout, short snout, big jowls, long legs, shorter legs, etc. This is just a few examples.

Considering where I camp, I'd be pretty surprised to see a grizzly.

Black bears can be brown too. I've never been out hiking or camping where there are grizzlies. There are blondes in both species, too. And silver brown bears. |

A Grizzly Bear has more "Grizzly."
It's more "Grizzly-er-er." |

Neither a Grizzly nor a Black Bear, this is a Chill Bear! Chill Bears like to chill by rivers and watch their friends catch fish. Well known for their firearms safety, the Chill Bear will never touch a firearm, not even a stainless shotgun carelessly left on the ground by a chair.

Yes, I can tell them apart, can also identify male from female at least 100% on brown/grizzly.....

Quote HistoryQuoted: Grizzly bears aren't native to within like 1,500-2,000mi of where I live. I figure I'm safe taking a wild-ass guess that I won't be running into any of them. For black bears I'm comfortable with .357 SIG in the woods, though I'm sure 9mm would probably dissuade an attack. Somalia is farther than 2k miles from the nearest grizzly! |

This one is a cinnamon black:
 This one's a grizzly.  They're probably about the same weight since the grizzly is a juvenile. |

No brown bears around here so I don't have to worry about it. Most of the black bears here I've seen pics of were very brown. When I still lived in Alaska and saw a lot more of them I think I would have figured it out even though what I saw was 99% black bears. Couple of the brown bears were so fat they didn't even look like most of what you see for stereotypical Grizzly. Black bears always just looked and acted like big dogs to me.

If it follows you up the tree and kills you, it’s a black bear.
If it knocks the tree down and kills you, it’s a grizzly |
