Here's Momma Griz.. walking along - Near Turbine Canyon in Kaninansis Alberta, Last October.. Note the claw tip marks far away from the toes - this is how you know it is a Grizzly as opposed to a black bear.




Here's a picture of the cub track that was following along - you can't tell from this shot but
junior's tracks are a lot smaller and the claws don't stick out as far.



Here's another sign you may see - in the spring (and other times) grizzlies like to dig up
stuff to find food - usually insects or rodents. These are grizzly diggings from a trip
I took into Nigel Pass, in Jasper National Park, July 6, last year. Basically this will look
like someone tore up large areas of the alpine with a shovel - which is pretty much what the bear does <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> - anyway, here's a shot of a digging:
