Really? REALLY? A bear hand resembles a human hand THAT closely?


Not to take away from the humor of your post, but it's actually pretty easy to mistake a bear paw for a human hand if you're not too familiar with skeletal anatomy.



The metacarpals in a defleshed paw look a lot like fingers, and if it's still got some meat on it, it's hard to tell the difference.

When hunters skin bears, they usually cut the paws off to make it easier to remove the hide. They may also keep the claws as trophies, but then leave behind the bones. Dogs, raccoons and other scavengers can carry off the smaller bones and then drop them somewhere, far from the rest of the skeleton, where they are later found. Forensic techs get called out to bear paw discoveries all the time. Here in the Pacific Northwest, it's the single most commonly misidentified skeletal material.

(It's not half as funny as getting called out to a possible crime scene to see a skeleton and then having to explain to the investigating officers that humans, when they are healthy, don't typically have antlers.)
