A Grizzly Bear Paw

A grizzly bear’s paw is wider 
than a woman’s face.
And about the length from base to claw tips
Maybe longer

I had no idea of this until someone
posted a photo of one on social media
The grizzly was alive, but sedated
And if you think I would have been the woman
holding that grizzly bear’s paw in front of my face

You would have been mistaken

You have the grizzly bear pegged wrong, and I did too. Type in on google "photo of woman's face with grizzly bear's paw". You will have nightmares the rest of your life, and certainly avoid grizzly bear states.
