Isn't that backwards?
I believe the species is brown bear and grizzly was a sub-species?

Browns historically were founds throughout northern Eurasia, US, Canada and down into Mexico. Human pressure pushed them into extreme areas away from the public.... which went primarily north.

There are many sub-species or browns like:
Kodiak
Grizzly
American Brown
Eurasian Brown
Kolyma River
Kamchatka
Atlas (extinct)
Gobi
Himalayan
Amur Brown
Marsican
Northern Caucus
Mexican (extinct)
Siberian
Tibetan Blue
Syrian Blue
Hokkaido
Bergmans (maybe extinct)


Sorry for the hijacking of the thread.

Is that just a brown colored balck? Cool bear!
