Grizzlies!

Grizzly Bears are the second largest land predators in the world (the Polar Bear takes the cake for #1). Now don't get confused when you hear that "Brown Bears" and "Grizzly Bears" are the same thing. They are not the same thing...well sort of.
     The Brown Bear is a species of bear, but there are three sub-species within that species - the Grizzly, the Kodiac, and the Eurasian - so they are technically the same thing. But not really, haha. If you were to just use "Brown Bear", you could be refering to any of the three sub-species. BUT if you want to be known for your vast wisdom and knowledge about bears then you might just want to use the correct sub-species name. So there you go! So the next time that you're in one of those "akward silence" moments with someone else, never fear! Just throw these nuggets of wisdom about Brown Bears at them and see if you can start an interesting conversation...I doubt that it will work, haha.
