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

The bears in the US are all black bears (except grizzly) but come in cinnamon color, brown or black.

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

Wikipedia disagrees with you:

That's the grizzly.

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?

Or the grolar?

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

...but black bears are commonly brown?!?

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

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

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