0607a.jpgA bear was taking a nap in front of Bear Point, and the sole of its paw was flat on the glass, so I compared its size. Not only the length, but also the width is definitely large. (Shoes are 24cm)

And as you can see, you can see that there is a heel. Since the entire sole of the foot touches the ground, it feels stable even with two legs, and can stand up well. (Papedial animals) Even in the park, they will stand up when doing back rubs (marking) or wrestling.

Another interesting point to observe is that the soles of the front and hind legs have different shapes!
