    I found this fellow in wandering through a meadow in northwest Yellowstone Park last week. At first I thought it might be a grizzly, but after getting it home and zooming in, I’m declaring it a large, cinnamon black bear. Do you bear experts agree?

    I’m not an expert but have had quite a few bear encounters….and I would concur….black bear.

    I’m not a biologist, but based on the size and shape of the ears, I’d say black bear.

    ears, snout and hump less back, if it ate me, I’d tell every one when I go to the other side a black bear kilt me.
