A large male grizzly (Ursus arctos) left this footprint
along the banks of Trout Creek in Yellowstone National
Park on June 4, 1997.
Of all the Yellowstone grizzly
tracks I have studied, the size of this footprint
measures in the top 15%. The bear probably weighed
over 450 lbs. The average adult (5 or more years old)
male grizzly weighs 425 lbs.
