Thanks Leuba!
impressive picture and the information you've provided misako.hill !
I'm no expert, but clawing is said to mark territory.
@Julio--I read that bears claw the tree as high as they can and when another bear comes along, it can see if it is larger or smaller than the original bear.
Wow !!
