Does the person who got attacked have any injuries?
If he did he got over them long ago. That happened when I was in my 20's. I'm in my 60's now so that would make him in his 80's. I'm not sure he's even alive

lol, That's true. XD
When I got home, I checked all of my books.
I went to the library, which I am at now, checked the internet, looked at some more books, and nearly every one of them confirmed what I previously thought.
A Brown Bear and a Grizzly are the same thing.
Brown Bears can be black, and Black Bears brown.
The only way to tell the difference is that the Black Bear is smaller, with no shoulder hump, and has different facial features.
The Brown Bear (or Grizzly) has a shoulder hump because it digs for alot of it's food.
If you still don't believe me, then do as I did, research.
If I am wrong, then I stand corrected.
The scientific name even matches.
I usually am not so persistant, but I am pretty sure now that I am right on this one.
I don't mean to sound rude, and if I did I am terribly sorry.
I am on this earth to learn and teach.
If you find anything that can prove me wrong, then please show me.
I hope you have a good weekend, even though it isn't here yet, lol!
Happy trails!
Sincerely,
Brandon.
P.S.I hope you don't mind that I stole your font style! XD
It is very cool!

Dear Brandon. I'm not saying you are wrong and as a matter of fact I think I stated that yes grizzly or Kodiak are referred to as brown.
All I'm stating is that in the northern rockies where I grew up a when someone refers to a brown bear they are not referring to a grizzly. The are referring to the smaller species associated with the black bear. I have on my living room floor a brown bear rug which is not a grizzly. So according to what you have been reading yes you are right but according to the region I grew up in if you called a grizzly a brown bear they would not know what you were talking about. They would think you were talking about the smaller species of bear.
Which is why your statement:
Brown Bears can be black, and Black Bears brown.
is true but you will never see a black grizzly! So brown bears and black bears are the same and not necessarily grizzly's.
I think it's great that you are persistent. That's a great attribute to have but always remember to take into account all aspects of an argument.
I think it's wonderful that there are still young people like you that are so in love with our Mother earth and all it has to offer. Keep up the good work.

Oh...
lol
That's confusing. XD
I can see where you are comeing from now, and I am sorry, again, about the missunderstanding.
I think that the Grizzlies in some areas just get like a dark brown, so you can easily mistake them as black. (I may be wrong about that though.)
In your area, Brown Bears and Black Bears are the same (if that's what you said, I can't really remember now. XD) but in mine they are different, so it is a perfect example of how, even in the same country, things can be thought of so differently.
I should have seen it that way before, but I was only seeing it from my area's perspective.
Thank you very much!
I will never stop loving nature or the outdoors. I hope that I stay this way for the rest of my life!
I am sorry for not seeing it from your point.
I hope you have a good weekend!
Happy trails!
Sincerely,
Brandon.
