I've been following this Genus, although only a few decades ago, the Genus was commonly called "dog-bear". When you enter "dog-bear" (as written) into a search engine, you get similar articles, but not the latest ones.

Early on, I was struck by similarities in behavior of dogs and carnivorous bears. (And, most lately, their interactions with polar bears).

At 200#, I can't imagine what it costs to feed him. Magnificent critter.
