The Incredible Size of a Grizzly Bear Claw
The size difference between a grizzly bear and human being is significant. Grizzlies weigh much more than humans, with male bears reaching up to 800 pounds. They can also be up to eight feet tall, while the average human male weighs only 200 pounds and is six feet tall. This picture illustrates just how big a grizzly’s paw can be in comparison.
The picture is both wonderful and appalling. It also demonstrates why a paw strike from a grizzly can be lethal. If you’re concerned about the bear in this image, don’t fret. It was tranquilized and labeled to be let go.
