From the actual youtube link, in the description remarks.

I'm trying to get better and knowing what I'm looking at with bears that one to me looks like a good sized adult?

Post by: smithkl42 on June 11, 2018, 12:35:27 PM: And I should know this, but my bear ID skills are pretty bad. Is that a grizzly, or a black bear? It looks huge, but I don't see much of a hump, I can't tell whether the face is "dished" or not, and the claws seem to be relatively short compared to a grizzly's. So I would have said "black" - but open to correction by folks that know better.
