Nice find King Kodiak. One of the last Mexican grizzlies killed in 1976 while feeding on a cougar kill in Sonora, Mexico.

THE MEXICAN GRIZZLY MAY NOT BE EXTINCT
Great find King Kodiak. If this turns out to be true - major news. |

"The mexican silver grizzly is the smallest grizzly species. Even being smaller, this can often weigh over 226 kilograms".
"This slow graceful animal can charge at high speeds and has been known to run faster at hill upwards than downwards. They can run as fast as 65 km per hour, fast enough to catch horse or deer."
"The strength is immense. One story told that a mexican grizzly killed a horse and dragged it 90 metres and once a grizzly killed a bison and dragged it off."
"The one of the lastest grizzly bear of norther mexico was shot by hunters in 1964. That was a mama bear with two cubs."

226 kilograms is equal to 498.24 pounds. Even if the grizzly was nearly 500 pounds that drug a dead horse 295 feet, this is impressive. If the bison a Mexican grizzly drug even for a few feet was a full-grown animal, cow or bull, still impressive. There is no disputing the great strength of a grizzly. *Something to consider. The Mexican grizzly shared his environment with the jaguar. Perhaps "share" should be substituted with another word. |

Or maybe I'm named after a Bear.
