*** About Bears: Bears, particularly those found in Alberta such as the Grizzly and Black Bear, are symbols of strength and endurance. Grizzly bears, often seen as majestic and powerful, are known for their distinct hump on their shoulders and can weigh up to 800 pounds. Black bears are smaller and are more widespread across North America. Both species play crucial roles in the ecosystem as they help control the population of smaller mammals and spread plant seeds through their droppings.
