I've missed the Reddit AMA, but I wanted to express my disappointment with this brown bear subspecies.
I don't mind at all having different subspecies of the same animal in the game - it adds the needed diversity. Plus, it's a really cool and unexpected subspecies to choose for the main roster. But I was disappointed when I noticed that the Himalayan brown bear adult (the cub seems fine) isn't distinguishable from the grizzly aside from the lighter fur.
My sole criticism is the shape of the head. Asiatic brown bear subspecies have a slightly different head shape and also more pronounced and fluffier ears than the grizzly.
Some photos for comparison:

Hopefully, you'll take this criticism into consideration and have time to implement some changes for the release.
