      From what I read on Wikipedia, grizzlys are a subspecies of the brown bear:

      The grizzly bear (Ursus arctos horribilis), also known as the North American brown bear or simply grizzly, is a population or subspecies of the brown bear inhabiting North America.

      Family: Ursidae
      Genus: Ursus
      Species: U. arctos
      Subspecies: U. a. horribilis

      Funnily enough, “Antarctica” is literally “not bear land”. “Arktos” is an old Greek word for bear. The constellation Ursa Major (itself meaning “great bear” in Latin) is in the northern part of the sky, so the Greeks named the north after it, the Arctic. Some Greek philosophers theorised that the north pole must have a counterpart in the south, and since the land around the north pole was the Arctic they named it the Anti-Arctic, or Antarctic. How correct they accidentally were would not be discovered for about 2,000 years.

      Honestly there’s not much in inland Antarctica. Some scientists and some very bored skuas that were hoping for an adventure and just got ice.

    I see the Great Lakes have dried up, or perhaps been drank by very thirsty bears. I myself have met a few thirsty bears in Toronto, but I think they may have been a different subspecies. Musky though.
