"I consider him in most respects the greatest animal on the North American continent, if not in the world. He excels in mental development and physical prowess, and he possesses the rare quality of loyalty. He is full of curiousity and a born adventurer. The species impresses one with superiority, and the individuality of each grizzly stands out .. stories of this 'animal that walks like a man' ever appeal; he is the most impressive animal on the continent. He is the dominant and the most distinguished animal of the world." -- Enos Mills, 'The Grizzly'.
