Here’s a corrected and polished version of the Grizzly Bear informational content, with fixes to typos, scientific inaccuracies, and fragmented notes:
Grizzly Bear
Scientific Name: Ursus arctos horribilis
(Typo: “VISUS ARCTOS HARRIS” → Correct: Ursus arctos horribilis)
About the Bears:
-
Kiona & Rachina: Two resident grizzlies at San Francisco Zoo (or similar institution).
-
Kiona: Darker face with a light marking on the forehead.
-
Rachina: Lighter fur blend; eyes appear as dark shapes.
-
-
Age: Approximately 17 years old.
-
Seasonal Traits:
-
“Water coats” (likely winter coats) make them appear extra fluffy.
-
Note the variation (“malt” → “mottled”) in fur color.
-
Behavior & Observation Tips:
-
Gait: Bears plant hind feet flat, using an “overstep” gait where hind paws land ahead of forepaw prints.
-
Drawing Practice:
-
Visit the 11:00 AM daily feeding to sketch dynamic poses.
-
Bears often return to similar poses—try multiple sketches simultaneously.
-
Watch as they run into their yard for breakfast (“hatten” → “hearty”).
-
Corrections:
-
Subspecies: The “grisity” bear is the grizzly bear (Ursus arctos horribilis), named for its grizzled (streaked) fur.
-
Typos:
-
“Bearr” → “Bears”
-
“Forester” → “Forepaw”
-
“sr here” → “These”
-
Illustrator Credit:
-
Mark Stannos (Typo: “STANNOES” → “Stannos”?).

Footer Note:
-
Likely an event reference:
“For HEADTITUL BRASS at SAN FRANCISCO 200”
-
(Unclear; possibly a fundraiser or exhibit name. Suggest: “For [event] at San Francisco Zoo.”)
-
Key Takeaways:
-
Accuracy: Fixed scientific name and behavioral terms.
-
Clarity: Reworded fragmented notes (e.g., fur color, gait).
-
Engagement: Enhanced tips for bear observation/drawing.
