Holy crap, the size of the claws on that paw is incredible. As far as bears getting that big... yep, Grizzlies can get huuuuuge! I was just reading THIS STORY this morning. The picture isn't very clear but you can still tell that his face got mangled badly when the bear swatted him upside the head. Seeing the paw of the dead one in that picture, it's easy to see how one could knock you dead easily.

I can't get the pics to show up, but I know bears get freakin' HUGE. Some do at least. The scary thing is, they are pretty damn fast too ... and can sure lay the "smackdown" on you with a bear-slap!

If you right-click on the red x's and select "properties" you can copy the URL and then paste it in a new browswer.
