		A bear's size is normally expressed in terms of weight, which is difficult to judge due to individual variations in height, thickness of fur, and physical stature, as well as the observer's proximity to the bear and particular level of stress.
		Some biologists believe the vision of bears is at least average, and at least two have expressed the thought that though bears act as if they have poor eyesight, it just may be they do not trust their eyes as well as their trustworthy noses.
		The strength of a bear is difficult to measure, but observations of bears moving rocks, carrying animal carcasses, removing large logs from the side of a cabin, and digging cavernous holes are all indicative of enormous power.

	Mark J. Palmer: Bring Back the California Grizzly
		California's bear population may have bred and given birth to cubs on a year-round basis, although in Yellowstone and other areas with more pronounced seasons, breeding is generally done in the summer, with the female giving birth to young in the winter den in January.
		The California grizzly subspecies is extinct; all remaining grizzly populations in the lower 48 states are threatened with extinction.
		Reintroduction of grizzly bears may be seen as another predator competing with sportsmen for deer, or may be seen as some vague attempt by "the anti-hunters" to further interfere with hunters in California.

		In early California history - - mission days and after Statehood it was not uncommon for grizzly bears to be taken into captivity; early Californians capriciously took the grizzly for the infamous bear and bull fights.

		The California grizzly bear was on the brink of extinction and this token bear most certainly would generate publicity - - attracting attention to the newspaper.

		More than just a thing of beauty, the flower was cherished by early-day California Indians both as a source of food which they obtained by boiling the foliage as a green, and for the oil which they extracted from the plant to use on their hair.

	Grizzly Bear - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Grizzly Bears reach weights of 180–680 kg (400–1,500 lb); the male is on average 1.8 times as heavy as the female, an example of sexual dimorphism.
		Being omnivores, grizzlies feed on a variety of plants and berries including roots or sprouts and fungi, as well as insects and smaller mammals; what is eaten depends largely on time of year and precise location.
		Grizzly bears in general will feed on fish like salmon, trout, and bass, and those with access to a more protein-enriched diet in coastal areas can grow much larger than their herbivorous cousins.

		The grizzly bear has special meaning for us Californians: the "golden bear" is our state mammal and appears on our state flag.
		As humans began to populate California, the grizzly stood its ground, refusing to retreat in the face of an advancing civilization.
		But the CAUZ bear may also symbolize an incongruity of the conservation movement: most people are not very enthusiastic about preserving species that we consider to be competitors or that may bring harm to our own species - such as the wolf or the grizzly.

	California Grizzly Bear Reintroduction Team
		Since there are no surviving California Grizzlies and no specimens which would allow such a distinction, it is unlikely we will ever know for sure.
		The source population for reintroducing the California Grizzly will have to be carefully selected to match the California animal's reported characteristics as much as possible.
		It is likely that even if a different species of Grizzly were introduced, it would be similar enough that any differences would be negligible, and the ecological functions it would serve would be identical (it would hopefully eat developers).
