About Grizzly Bears

Grizzly bears (Ursus arctos horriblis, which translated means horrible Northern bear) are actually one of two subspecies of Brown bear (Ursus arctos); the other is the Kodiak (Ursus arctos middendorffi). Grizzlies get their name from the "grizzled" appearance of their coat that is created by the white tips of the long guard hairs on their back and shoulders. Their coat color can vary from light cream to black, but is generally darkish brown. Highly intelligent creatures, grizzlies find food by employing complex problem solving skills. Although mature grizzlies are very large - females are 200 to 450 pounds, males are 300 to 850 pounds - at birth the cubs are about the size of a rat, weighing only about 1 to 1 1/2 pounds. Factors leading to their endangered status include: destruction of habitat, accidental killing by hunters who mistake them for black bears, illegal killing (poaching), etc.

About Brown Bears

The brown bear (Ursus arctos) is North America's largest bear and can weigh up to 1500 pounds. It feeds primarily on plants and fungi, but enjoys almost any kind of bug, small rodent, fish or even larger game animals. Brown bears have furry coats in shades of blonde, brown, black, or a combination of those colors. The longer outer guard hairs are often tipped with white or silver, giving a "grizzled" appearance. Their tail is 4–5 inches long. They often stand on their hind legs to reach food at higher levels or to posture a threatening pose. Brown bears are mainly nocturnal and hibernate in the winter where they share a den often with a mate. Brown bears often are attracted to campsites by the smell of food. It is best to keep all food stuffs locked up to avoid confrontation with this interesting, but wild and often dangerous, animal.
