There are just two types of bears in North America. Grizzly and black bear.

Wikipedia disagrees with you:

That's the grizzly.

4/18/14 12:17pm

Nope. The grizzly is actually a type of brown bear; they're not synonyms.

I'm pretty sure you're completely wrong on that.

Guys, the tour guide at Yellowstone told me so. So it must be right!

What about kodiak and polar?

4/18/14 12:16pm

Or the grolar?

4/18/14 12:16pm

I think a Kodiak is just a subspecies of brown bear and a polar bear is it's own

You are wrong. Brown bears are black bears with different coloring.

Is Alaska still part of the US? Kodiaks and polar bears live in Alaska.

Uh...Ursus Arctos vs. Ursus Americanus. These two species of bears are commonly

Byron McNertney

4/18/14 12:45pm

Nope. They are a subspecies unique from brown bears

4/18/14 12:42pm

First paragraph of your link: "It is the largest subspecies of brown bear"

fredgarvin

4/18/14 12:45pm

D'oh! I should have left it to just the US not North America.

Did anybody read in the body of the post?

Yeah, but we prefer to discuss bears.
