If it knocks > the tree over and eats you, it's a grizzly. 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. https://www.backpacker.com/trail-news/do-bear-bells-really-work/ 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.
