Actually, it's a "race" and it's the other way around. Grizzlies are a "race" of Brown bear. So All Grizzlies are Brown Bears but not all Brown Bears are Grizzlies. It is actually a race, not a subspecies. {actually, race is the same as subspecies. Generally, race is used more commonly for birds, subspecies for mammals.}
