So the search continued. One of my favorite theories was that the abbreviation for debit was indeed the entirely logical âDe.â At least it was originally âDeâ; but due to some sloppy handwriting, the âDeâ was mistaken for a âDr.â The result was that an unclear manuscript begot a printerâs error in a published treatise.
Best Answer: Grizzly bears are so called not because they are 'grisly' --- that is, horrifying or gruesomely unpleasant --- but because of their grizzled or gray hairs. Wow good question! I never thought of that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grizzly_bea...
Grizzly Bear Description. Grizzly bears are large and range in color from very light tan (almost white) to dark brown. They have a dished face, short, rounded ears and a large shoulder hump The hump is where a mass of muscles attach to the bearâs backbone and give the bear additional strength for digging. They have very long claws on their front feet that also give them extra ability to dig after food and to dig their dens.
