Black Bears, Grizzly Bears ?



We encountered this bear while on a US Park Service Ranger Adventure Hike in the back country near Mammoth Hot Springs. Which of the other bears below it is of the same species?



Fabulous luck getting to observe this Grizzly mother with her two cubs near Dunraven Pass over Mount Washburn in Yellowstone.


One of our most enjoyable observations on this trip was getting to watch this young subadult black bear feeding on termites and flowers in the forest along the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone near Tower Falls.

So, which of the second two bears is of the same species as the first, and why?
