I did not know black bear lived in alaska.

black, brown, griz and Kodiak.

Grizzlies are super dangerous and have been known to hunt humans down - but the Kodiak is the meanest of the mean. They'll kill ya for the shear fun of it.

There are polar bears too, in addition to the black bear the grizzly, and the kodiak. (There’s also the Glacier bear and the Kermode bear, but those are just bizarre color phases of the black bear-the glacier’s a grayish or slate blue, the kermode’s a creamy white. I’ve seen pictures of both-they’re gorgeous and very rare. Biologists think their genes are being swamped by those of the normal black or brown phases of the black bear.

Brown bears are Grizzly and Kodiak. At Taku lodge there is a bear skin, which measures 11 feet long with paws a foot wide. I will hunt for my picture.
