I thought it might be interesting to share some close up photographs of the paws of a two year old Kodiak bear.
The paws are huge and have unbelievable strength and agility!
As I continue to observe the Kodiak bear cubs, I’m astonished by the cubs ability to manipulate the claws with the same agility as a human. The hump on the Kodiak bear is made of muscle which developed presumably for imparting force in digging and helps with when constructing dens.
