To a grade school kid camping out with his schoolmates, suddenly confronted by a giant bear in the middle of the night, I doubt that its exact species was terribly significant. Nor is it especially significant in his retelling of the story for this interview.

Now if he were doing a documentary on the bear population in California, in the role of an expert, a little research would be in order...

You would not think he's 46, but he is! hehe

to the haters, he was trying to find some way to express why he cared...to make it personal...he may have also been high...but the type of elaboration he does by connecting the personal to the rest of the world is exactly why he manages songs that ring true with everybody...

Sorry, there are no grizzlies in Yosemite, Adam, now or for your entire life (unless you were born before 1922). It was a black bear, Ursus americanus. Sheesh! You would think that the people doing the promotionals for this series would be at least a little bit familiar with their subject.
