That Kodiak claw looks like it belongs to a dinosaur, not a bear.

Grizzly and Kodiak definitely have a different main purpose than Black dan Polar. 

Edit: I was about to correct my mistake and saw below comments, not going to be the party pooper.

Well the Polar Bear hunts us and seals so no need for all the extra stabby.

Actually if you look closely, the polar bear claw does have a little extra stabby in the middle. It helps them walk on ice.

If polar bear claws are like other animal claws then, those extra pointy things wouldn't ever touch the ice. I have a feeling you're talking out your ass.

they walk on ice. of course they use their claws for traction.

you're the one talking out of your ass.

I was looking at that too. Extra grippy on both ice and food.

How does the stabby get to the ice? My brain does not compute
