How do you know if a grizzly bear is male or female?

Answer 1

Black bears are smaller and less dangerus then commen or grizzly bears.

Some grizzly bears are nearly black, while some black bears are brown, bluish, even white. Black bears lack the shoulder hump of grizzlies, and have narrower faces with a roman nose, where grizzlies have a "dished in" facial profile.

Answer 2

The males (boars) have round heads but females (sows) have a type of flat, narrower head. Because of this difference in head shape, the sows ears appear to be much bigger than a boars. Because the definitive head shapes are not usually developed yet in cubs it is harder to identify them most of the time. Yearlings are a bit harder to identify also because they always tend to have big ears regardless of head shape.

Answer 3

Males are normally larger. Also, much like humans, females sort of just look, feminine you know? They usually will have cubs in tow anyway.

Answer 4

Although info not recommend getting too close to a grizzly bear, you can tell the differences because a male grizzly bear has testicles and a penis.
