Multiple morphological forms sometimes recognized as subspecies exist, including the mainland grizzly (Ursus arctos horribilis), Kodiak bear (U. a. middendorffi), peninsular grizzly (U. a. gyas), and the recently extinct Californian (U. a. californicus†) Mexican (U. a. nelsoni†) and Ungava-Labrador grizzlies (U. a. ungavaesis†). On average bears near the coast tend to be larger while inland grizzlies tend to be smaller.
