One characteristic that distinguishes male grizzly bears from female grizzly bears is a larger head.<\/p>\n

“No doubt that’s a big-headed male griz,\u201d one follower remarked. “It looks like he picked up some scent left at the camera site and moved off!”<\/p>\n

“Look at that head! YEOW!” another follower exclaimed. “What an amazing critter.”<\/p>\n

The folks behind Mission Valley Montana Grizz Cam use motion-sensor cameras in different locations to capture footage of grizzly bears in Mission Valley, in northwestern Montana.<\/p>\n

The Grizz Cam website<\/a> states: “In 2015 we started seeing a lot of Grizzly Bears on our property so we decided that setting\u00a0up some trail cameras might lead to some interesting footage and give us insight.<\/p>\n

“Several\u00a0cameras were put in various locations, and we came to realize there were more bears than\u00a0any of us had anticipated.”<\/p>\n

While many Grizz Cam clips look similar, and some feature brilliant daytime colors and audio, this post stands out because of the unique appearance of the bear.<\/p>\n

As one follower stated, “That\u2019s a bad boy there.”<\/p>\n
