This is an oldie, but a goodie.  I found it printed in the Summer 2000 issue of Nastawgan - the quarterly journal of the Wilderness Canoe Association, but it's been around since the beginning of time.

Know Your Bear Poop

"The Montana Department of Fish and Game is advising hikers, hunters and fisherman to take extra precautions and keep alert for bears while in the field.  They advise that outdoorsmen wear noisy little bells on their clothing so as not to startle bears that aren't expecting them.  They also advise outdoorsmen to carry pepper spray with them in case of an encounter with a bear.

Outdoorsmen should recognize the difference between black bear and grizzly bear poop.  Black bear poop is smaller and contains lots of berries and squirrel fur.  Grizzly bear poop has little bells in it and smells like pepper."
