Grizzly Bear

The brown bear is divided into several subspecies: the grizzly, the kodiak and the European brown bear. The grizzly is a massive bear only rivaled by the polar bear in size. It stands six to ten feet at shoulder height and can weigh over 1,700 pounds. The grizzly, like the black bear, is essentially a vegetarian but prefers meat when it is available. The grizzly lives in heavily wooded areas and moves over large tracts of land in search of food. The grizzly lives in the far northwestern woodlands of the U.S., north through parts of Canada, to Alaska. Gestation lasts seven to eight months and a sow will give birth to one to three tiny, blind, hairless cubs.

The grizzly bear once roamed over most of North America. This ended after European settlers moved westward and over-hunted the grizzly. Although now protected from over-hunting, the grizzly has an uphill battle because of continued habitat destruction.
