I don't know. Do grizzlies get to be 10 feet tall and weigh 1500 pounds?

yes. I've stood next to a grizzle standing... of course it was at a restaurant in Portlan, Oregon (area). It's amazing how tall they actually are when standing. The same is true for polar bears.

Kodiaks are generally considered a subspecies of ursus horribilis(grizzly).

IIRC, their advantage is year-round grub - no hibernating.

I saw some Kodiak bears in a zoo once, and I think they were over 10 feet tall. They were gigantic, and that cured any desire I ever had to go hiking in Alaska.
