You’ll care because the grizzly is about twice the size.

Juvenile black/brown bears look kind of cute and sweet. They aren't but they look that way. Juvy grizzlies don't look cute. They look dangerous. They are.

A grizzly bear IS a brown bear. Same species. And most black bears are completely harmless. They're like racoon dogs.

And juvenile grizzly/brown bears absolutely do look cute. They are cute but potentially dangerous. Statistically they are unlikely to attack you.

With a global population of 8.3 billion humans, almost anything is statistically unlikely to attack me in particular.

I’ve seen some pretty small black bears I think I could take!

Yes and that said, the black bear in OP’s video is massive for a black bear. The ones I’ve seen have been way smaller mostly. Coming back from fishing in Ontario last year there was a black bear the size of a smart car just sat in the road. They can be big, probably if they’ve eaten lots of Americans.

You’ve probably mostly seen younger bears. This one isn’t full-grown yet either. An adult mama bear is typically larger than this, and an adult male can top out at more than 500 lbs/225 kg.
