Teton Griz

A healthy grazing boar grizzly found in the Tetons in the fall. Gotta fatten up before his pillow calls him.

 

"The grizzly bear hump is actually a large muscle. The most identifiable trait of a grizzly bear is the large hump on their shoulders, a powerful muscle they use to power their forelimbs through their daily routine. Grizzlies, known to dig more than any other bear species, spend inordinate amounts of time ripping through the earth and tearing apart rotted logs in search of roots, plant bulbs, insects, rodents, and other grubs. Their massive hump is also the muscle powering them as they dig out winter dens, often in steep and rocky mountain terrain." bearsmart.com

 

Hope your weekend is off to a wonderful start!
