See how the claws are curved in an arc like that?  That's a black bear trait

Grizz claw marks are in a line like

It's a black bear.  The claw tips on a griz would be out in front of the toes by quite a lot more.  Consider that the round toe pad will be about an inch front to back.  Griz claws will have about 2-3 inches between the toe and the tip of the claw.
