The Indians referred to the grizzly as "the bear that walks like a man".

I wonder what they called Arctodus simus, the Short-Faced Bear or Bulldog Bear. Check that one out in your search engines! This critter lived in the late Pleistocene. It stood about six feet or so at the shoulder WHEN WALKING ON ALL FOURS. Although bigger than a Kodiak Brown Bear, it was built lightly with long legs for running. Its dentition indicated it was a total carnivore rathen than a omnivore. Found mainly in the western part of the U.S., Canada and Beringia, it may have been responsible for limiting human expansion into North America until its extinction.

Sounds like a walkinig nightmare compared to a grizzly.

Read "Clan of the Cave Bear".

The narrow Bering Strait land bridge was supposed to be a rich feeding ground for that bear.
