00:00Does this picture genuinely show the difference in size between a human being and a grizzly bear?
00:11It's just forced perspective.
00:14This is a real picture of a man's hand and an air balloon.
00:18The man's hand is just very close to the lens, the air balloon is just really far away.
00:23This is what a regular human hand looks like next to a grizzly bear paw.
