When considered holistically in the whole-bear physical sense that the previous posts depicted, grizzlies are certainly more than the sum of all their parts. Moreover, that notion completely ignores the high specific gravity of even a docile grizzly's imposing psychic, non-corporeal presence. Nonetheless, having now seen their holistic depictions, it is intriguing to ponder their constituent physical elements, those parts that are quintessentially Grizzly.

If there were a Periodic Table of Bear Elements, these might be some of the grizzly-relevant elements, with their corresponding symbols: H for Hump; Cl for Claws; Fa for Fangs; Ea for Ears; E for Eyes; Fp for Footpads; B for Backend; T for Tail; Sn for Snout; P for Paw; Li for Lips; F for Fur.

Thus, a partial Periodic Table of Bear Elements might be illustrated as follows:  

 H for Hump (grizzlies, but not black bears, have a big shoulder hump):

The hump is sufficiently characteristic of grizzlies that Kantishna Lodge uses it in an informative caricature:

Cl for Claws (prominent claws are important for digging, prying, and excavating, and for defense and offense; thick foot pads raise the claws off the surface while walking):  
EF4A8161-Edit-2 EF4A8164 EF4A8171-Edit EF4A8172 EF4A8174

Fa for Fangs (bears' teeth include fangs - their canines; it is thought a grizzly's jaws have sufficient power to crush a bowling ball - this thought may or may not be the product of observed and controlled experiments): 
EF4A8158-Edit-2-Edit EF4A8157-Edit-2-Edit

This bear was merely yawning.

Ea for Ears (bears, even grizzlies, have ultra-cute teddy-bear ears, but trying to rub them is ill-advised): EF4A8162-Edit
EF4A8164-Edit-2
EF4A8154-Edit-4 EF4A8158-Edit-2-Edit-1

EF4A8195-Edit

E for Eyes (grizzly vision is far less capable than grizzly sense of smell, which might be why bears seem to stare intently):

EF4A8110 EF4A8160

Fp for Footpads (thick and sturdy enough to keep claws from dragging while walking, and long enough that the articulated pad conforms paw to terrain):

EF4A8120-Edit-2 EF4A8171-Edit

Sn for Snout (with a nose extraordinarily sensitive to detecting and distinguishing smells):
EF4A8167-Edit

Li for Lips: 

EF4A8131-2 EF4A8157-Edit-2-Edit

F for Fur (dense, sturdy, and visually luxuriant):

EF4A8120-Edit-3

T for Tail (a surprisingly unimpressive little afterthought, bringing up the Behind): 

131A4091-Edit-2 131A4064_DxO

P for Paws (surprisingly flexible and agile, attached to what seem, from the side, to be slender, even svelte, ankles; a front view shows how wide and sturdy those ankles really are):
EF4A8174 EF4A8172 EF4A8165

Paw placement while walking is interesting; this bear's paws nearly cross over as it ambles slowly along.   EF4A8164

B for Backend (great power personified, depicted in the mature adults, top and bottom photos, and even in the not-yet-mature youngster in the middle two photos):

Rear-drive power helps propel this bear up a steep (50%?) grade. Grizzlies have been clocked at 45 mph running uphill.
