That bear is brown, it’s a grizzly, not a black bear.
Wide berth.
Aspen doesn’t have grizzlies . Black bears can be black or brown .
From Wikipedia:
Despite their name, black bears show a great deal of color variation. Individual coat colors can range from white, blond, cinnamon, or light brown to dark chocolate brown or to jet black, with many intermediate variations existing.
Black bears out here can vary in color from black, to brown, to blond, and even red. Adult males frequntly go up near 400 pounds, with one taken a few years ago over 700 pounds.
Some Black Bears have brown fur. They can even be blonde. Grizzlies also can be very dark.
Be that as it may these effing morons are are very very lucky.
In Yellowstone you see people trying to get close to moose and bison as well as bears. I’m amazed that more tourists don’t get mauled and killed every year.
