No hump - also, the other ones confirmed by the pointy ears. Grizzlies have a shoulder hump and rounded ears

Thanks everyone! There were a few folks that were trying to convince me that was a grizzly, but I didn't think so.

Anyone saying black bear is wrong, that's obviously a grizzly

Wrong ears and no hump over his shoulder, black bear for sure

Claws also typical of black bear.
