Today, we will betalking about the grizzly bear. Grizzly bears are large subspecies of brownbears, which might be a little difficult to understand. Grizzly bears are aspecial type of brown bear, which can only be found in North America. However,other kinds of brown bears live in Eurasia. The bear’s name could mean one oftwo things, because it could be named for the color of its fur, golden brownand gray, or for it’s personality, which is fear-inspiring or scary.

Grizzly bears arearound 2 meters from nose to tail, and stand about 1 meter tall. Grizzliesusually have dark brown fur, with darker fur on their legs but lighter fur ontheir flanks and back. However, their fur can be darker, almost black, and alsoblond. They have humped shoulders, and foreheads that are high on their heads,making them look somewhat hunched.

Grizzly bears areomnivores, meaning they will eat a variety of foods, not just meat. They willeat berries, roots, and plant shoots, but they will also hunt for fish, smallmammals, calves of hoofed animals like deer, and carrion, which is meat thatwas found by the bear.

Grizzly bears arecompetitive animals, and will compete and fight with other predators. Forexample, people have seen grizzly bears fighting with the newly introduced graywolves in Yellowstone National Park, usually over an elk killed by the wolves.They will occasionally fight with cougars, but usually cougars will try toavoid conflict. Grizzly bears will also sometimes attack American black bears.
