This case was the World Record Grizzly Bear in 1953, killed with a .22 long (not Long Rifle) from a single shot rifle (a Cooey Ace #1).

Notice the location of the eye sockets. The side view does not show it well, but the brain is between the eyes, and does not extend out to the side behind the eyes.

Consider the slope of the bone between the eyes. Now put a couple of inches of muscle, fat, and hide above the bone.

That is one record I would not try to break!...........................

Good info.

In an older bigger bear the skull grows much wider.
