 Appeasement of a subordinate by a dominant bear. (A) A subordinate brown bear, S1 (upper left in photo) threatened a higher-ranking adult male, D1, when D1 ventured too close, even though D1 did not overtly threaten S1. S1's fearful assertiveness is indicated by its moderateaggression , low reluctance threat with head high, ears back tightly against its skull, and fully gaping jaws aimed at D1. S1's upper canines were not exposed, and much of its weight was on its arms, rather than shifted to its legs, suggesting that it was defensive and not ready to fi ght. D1 responded with combined displays of dominance and reluctance to fi ght. D1's dominance was indicated by its ears forward and head high, while it appeased S1 by holding his jaws at only half-gape and turned away from S1. D1's headhigh posture also kept its jaws in position to counterattack if S1 tried to bite. (B) S1 was calming down, with its mouth now at only halfgape and its jaws lowered and turned aside, even though its body was still aimed at D1. (Photos courtesy T. Guzzi)
Old Snagletooth (right) and a second male (not visible in photo) were strutting in circles around one another, while an estrus female grazed nearby. Note how Snagletooth's arms and legs are spread much wider than those of the female, who is in a normal quadrupedal stance, with her right and left feet separated <0.5 m, whereas his extended 1.2 m. The male's body, especially his hindquarters, are covered with mud from wallowing where he had just urinated, such that he reeked of his own pheromones.

Brown bears are one of the few animals today that are not endangered in general.
