Those Claws - Black Bear
A chocolate black bear displays its claws as it climbs over a fallen tree. Though considerably smaller than a grizzly's claws, I bet they could still do some serious damage. Black bears use their claws for climbing trees and digging up grubs and other bugs to eat, among other things. Captured in Yellowstone National Park.

The American black bear is a medium-sized bear native to North America. It is the continent's smallest and most common bear species. Black bears are omnivores with their diets varying greatly depending on season and location. They typically live in largely forested areas, but do leave forests in search of food.
