Grizzlies and Blacks

Today's tour with a family from Arkansas was filled with bears! Saw a grizzly and a black bear during our traveling up and through the Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. 

What is the difference you say?! Well. There are a few differences!
Grizzlies have that huge shoulder hump, the dish-shaped nose profile, and smaller teddy-bear like round ears. Black bears have no shoulder hump, a straight nose profile, and prominent pointed ears. Today, my guests were able to see both and distinguish the different characteristics.
