Thanks Eric. This one is really short-faced and rough-coated. Not wanting to tell you more than you would like to know, but the European brown bear and the American brown/grizzly bear are the same specie. I've never seen one in Alaska or the lower 48 or Canada grizzlies that short faced though. - EdM
Yes I did know that they were the same species...but I was surprised to read that the european brown bear was generally bigger than its grizzly brother? I thought grizzlies were the big daddies?
But these two were very big enough for my eyes even at distance!!
Fortunately 300mm on a DX camera (and a bit of cropping) made them look closer.
