The Polar Bear has 42 teeth in total. The canine teeth grasp the Polar Bear's prey and tear through the tough hides. The incisors shear off pieces of blubber and flesh so the premolars and molars can tear and chew. But Polar Bears, really swallow most of their food in large chunks rather than chewing it as your mother taught you. The Grizzly has 42 teeth as well. There are 12 incisors for shearing meat, and 16 premolars, and 10 molars for tearing and chewing. Plus 4 canines that help grasp whatever prey the Grizzly has caught. Even though the Grizzly eats both plant and animals, their tooth structure is similar to that of the Polar Bear. For more details, please see sites listed below.

the kill zone on a blak bear is about 6 inches up from the shoulder blade on the right side..this is direct heart.
- Only if the bear is laying on his back looking to your left. Looking at a broadside bear the straight down from the hump about 2/3rds of the way down or 1/3rd of the way up from the bottom is where the heart is sitting. The lungs start from there and goes back about 1/3rd the length of the body. For bow hunting keep the arrow just behind the shoulder in the lower half of the body. For rifle the shoulder or just behind it is a good place to shoot.
Google "bear anatomy" - I found some good resources, lots of breakdowns and some good shot placement guides.
