Most of the Grizzly Bears in the Khutzeymateen seemed small compared to this guy.  You can tell by the scab/scar across his face that he has been in a bit of a battle with some other bears, whether it was other big males or females that were playing hard to get it’s hard to know.

But you thought you were seeing big Grizzlies, until you saw this one, who really defined the phrase “Big Boy”.
