*** About Grizzly Bears: Grizzly bears, also known as North American brown bears, are powerful symbols of the wilderness. Native to North America, they predominantly inhabit areas ranging from Alaska down through much of Western Canada and into parts of the Northwestern United States. Typically characterized by their significant size, with males often weighing up to 700 pounds, and their distinctive humped shoulders, grizzly bears have a diet that can be highly varied, including plant material, fish, and small mammals. Despite their formidable appearance, grizzly bears are complex creatures with behaviors that include hibernating in winter and playing significant roles in their ecosystems as apex predators and keystone species.
