Grizzlies and Black Bears use their claws as an adaptation to hunt, climb and dig.

grizzlies also have a very good smell to get to their prey as well as having a hump of muscle on their back for running and digging and a keen sense of smell for tracking prey.

Grizzly Bears in particular have specially adapted claws that are longer & have less arch than a black Bear's claws, they are adapted for digging, tearing apart fallen trees & overturning rocks; along with theses unique digging claws the grizzly has a muscular hump that provides tremendous strength & power to its front limbs.

Black Bears have shorter claws that are more hooked, they are specially adapted for climbing.
