Regarding the Grizzly question(s).... I received this statement with the email from my friend; I'm not positive on the validity of the email or contents as this particular friend has a questionable character (hah ha, but true). I did not include the third picture as it is far too graphic..... half eaten man. Yukkk.

Copy of email contents that was delivered with Grizzly photos shown above.....
quote: "Whoa! The following (first two) pictures are of a guy who
works for the US Forest Service in Alaska and his trophy bear. He was
out deer hunting last week when a large grizzly bear charged him
from about 50 yards away. The guy unloaded his 7mm Mag Semi-automatic
rifle into the bear and it dropped a few feet from him. The big bear was
still alive so he reloaded and shot it several times in the head. The
bear was just over one thousand six hundred pounds. It stood 12' 6"
high at the shoulder,14' to the top of his head. It's the largest
grizzly bear ever recorded in the world.

Of course, the Alaska Fish and Wildlife Commission did
not let him keep it as a trophy, but the bear will be stuffed and
mounted, and placed on display at the Anchorage airport (to remind
tourist's of the risks involved when in the wild). Based on the contents
of the bears stomach, the Fish and Wildlife Commission established the
bear had killed at least two humans in the past 72 hours. His last
meal was the unlucky nature buff in the third picture below.

The US Forest Service, backtracking from where the
bear had originated, found the hiker's 38 caliber pistol emptied.
Not far from the pistol was the remains of the hiker . The other body
has not been found. Although the hiker fired six shots and managed to
hit the grizzly with four shots (they ultimately found four 38
caliber slugs along with twelve 7mm slugs inside the bear's dead body) it
only wounded the bear and probably angered it. The bear killed the
hiker an estimated two days prior to the bear's own death by the
gun of the Forest Service worker.

Think about this - If you are an average size man;
you would be level with the bear's belly button when he stood upright,
the bear would look you in the eye when it walked on all fours!
To give additional perspective, consider that this particular
bear, standing on its hind legs, could walk up to an average single
story house and look over the roof, or walk up to a two story house and
look in the bedroom windows." end quote.
