The grizzly has a large hump over the
shoulders which is a muscle mass used to
poser the forelimbs in digging. The hind legs
are more powerful, however. The muscle in
the lower legs provide enough strength for
the bear to stand up on its hind legs, giving

profile.
In spite of their massive size, these bears
can run at speeds of up to 40 kilometers per

slower running downhill rather than uphill
because of the large hump of muscle over
the shoulders.
