Q. How do you tell grizzly scat from black bear scat?

A. Black bears scat tends to have undigested berries. Grizzly scat has 
little bells and smells like cayenne pepper.

I don't know whether the bells work for bears or not but when I here them 
I get off the trail. Most people that have the bells also have bear spray 
and are nervous as hell.
