Herbert who told you that BS?
And a Kodiak bear & a Grizzly bear are one & the same thing....
the "Kodiak" is just a location name for grizzlies on Kodiak Island.
Quote:The Kodiak is classified URSUS ARCTOS MIDDENDORFFI. The Grizzly is classified URSUS ARCTOS HORRIBILIS. There are both genetic and physical differences.
No need to apologise, Gonads. I don't expect perfection in my fellow human beans.

The only reason there are more black bear fatalities is because they have a much larger range than grizzlies.
No ... what I actually said was that Black bears and Polar bears will actively stalk humans for food ~ and no, it's not because they're mistaking you for a seal or a baby walrus. It's because they actually LIKE snacking on us. Nothing to do with protecting their young ... Nothing to do with defending their territory.
Quote:The grizzly bear (Ursus arctos ssp.) is any North American subspecies of the brown bear, including the mainland grizzly (Ursus arctos horribilis), the Kodiak bear (Ursus arctos middendorffi), the peninsular grizzly (Ursus arctos gyas) and the recently extinct California grizzly (U. a. californicus)[1] and Mexican grizzly bear (U. a. nelsoni). Specialists sometimes call the grizzly the North American brown bear because the grizzly and the brown bear are one species on two continents.[1] In some places, the grizzly is nicknamed the silvertip bear for the silvery, grizzled sheen in its fur.
When it received its scientific name in 1815, the grizzly was classified as a separate species from all other bears. However, modern genetic testing reveals the grizzly to be a subspecies of the brown bear (Ursus arctos). So in Eurasia, it is the "brown bear"; in North America, it is the "grizzly".
In other words, the grizzly and the brown bear are one species on two continents. Currently, Rausch and others classify three subspecies of the new "North American brown bear": U. a. horribilis, middendorffi, and gyas. But more recent studies of mtDNA suggest that this three-fold division of living grizzlies needs revision. Further testing of Y-chromosomes is required to yield an accurate new taxonomy with different subspecies.[1]
Coastal grizzlies, often referred to by the popular but geographically redundant synonym of "brown bear" or "Alaskan brown bear" are larger and darker than inland grizzlies, which is why they, too, were considered a different species from grizzlies. Kodiak grizzly bears were also at one time considered distinct. Thus, at one time there were five different "species" of brown bear, including three in North America.[7]
Care for another try Herbert?
As for you dingo post of a similar nature ... you were speaking about Fraser Island dingoes doing this or that .... which is complete BS.... what I said about their desensitisation because of increased human contact & feeding them is the truth ............
& why would I know anything about them?
Because I live very close to Fraser Island.
You keep "Googling" your BS ... & I'll stick to telling it how it is.
