     Extractions: Grizzly bears once roamed all the western states from the Arctic Circle to southern California. Now this species is relegated to a few small strongholds in the lower 48, but Alaska still boasts historic numbers of these magnificent beasts. Biologists have estimated that the Alaska Grizzly population is holding strong at about 40,000 individuals, about 40 times the number in the rest of the United States. Grizzlies, called "brown bears" when they live near the coast, are wild creatures. But seasonal feeding patterns make it possible for relatively predictable viewing possibilities. Particularly in regard to coastal brown bears, which depend on the annual salmon runs as a mainstay for their diets. There are a number of areas in Alaska where bears congregate on rivers and streams. If you can visit these places at the right time, the viewing opportunities can be superb.

     Extractions: Section Topics List of WCS North American Projects Adirondack Communities and Conservation Program WCS in Greater Yellowstone Red Knots ... Grizzly Bear conservation in the Greater Nahanni Transboundary Survey of Grizzly Bears: Nahanni National Park Reserve Too small, too narrow that is the problem facing many national parks and other protected areas across the world when trying to conserve ecological integrity. This problem is particularly acute for wide-ranging carnivores that typically occur at low densities and possess little resiliency to human impacts and thus require large, secure areas to sustain viable populations. The Nahanni National Park Reserve (NNPR) area in the Northwest Territories of Canada represents a classic example of the boundary problem. Created in 1972 to protect spectacular Virginia Falls and canyons of the famed Nahanni River, NNPR is less than 8 km wide in some sections and only 4765 square km in size. In 2002, WCS biologist John Weaver surveyed the occurrence and trans-boundary movements of grizzly bears in the Ragged Range and Rabbitkettle Lake area which serves as a major point of entry for park visitors who fly to the lake and canoe the South Nahanni River. Weaver collected hair from scented hair-snagging stations and natural rub trees for DNA analysis to determine species, gender, individual identity, and genetic diversity of grizzly bears. During a 20-day session in June, 16 different grizzly bears 8 males and 8 females visited 20 of 49 grid stations. An exceptional number (12) of grizzly bears rubbed trees in the Rabbitkettle Lake area; some of these bears traveled from as far as 40 km outside the park. Nahanni grizzly bears exhibited a high level of genetic diversity compared to other populations across North America.

     Extractions: Books Black and grizzly bears can often be easily confused. The following table helps to differentiate the two. While this page will help you identify bears, you will also want to learn more about bear sign and field evidence. Click here to learn how to recognize bear signs in the field Grizzly Bears Black Bears Grizzly Bears vary from blonde to black in colour. They are most commonly medium to dark brown. The long guard hairs often have a lighter tip, giving the bears their 'grizzled' appearance. Black bears exhibit great variation in colour, ranging from black to light blonde. Cinnamon coloured black bears are quite common in the west. Many black bears have a light patch on the chest. The snout is usually light in colour, even in black bears. Size is a poor identifier as both bears vary greatly in size. Male grizzlies average 225 kg (500 lbs), with females averaging around 160 kg (350 lbs). Large bears may tip the scales at 360 kg (800 lbs). Black bears average 50-140 kg (110-300 lbs). Large male bears can top 180 kg (400 lbs) and may be larger than female grizzlies, so size is not an accurate indicator.

     Extractions: Idaho Division of Environmental Quality Craighead, John J., Jay S. Sumner, and John A. Mitchell. The Grizzly Bears of Yellowstone: their ecology in the Yellowstone ecosystem, 1959-1992. Washington, D.C.: Island Press, 1995. 535 pp. US $100 cloth ISBN: 1-55963-456-1. In a historical perspective, the authors document the slowly rising numbers of grizzlies in Yellowstone during the twentieth century in response to growing quantities of food in the form of garbage created by human visitors. Garbage dumps are characterized as "ecocenters", defined as seasonal concentrations of high-energy food, which attract large numbers of bears. Aside from aesthetic considerations, the authors argue that the Yellowstone dumps were no different ecologically than concentrations of migrating salmon that attract bears in Alaska and elsewhere. The social hierarchy that formed annually during the early summer, allowing these powerful animals to co-exist in dense aggregations, is carefully described. Chapters on reproductive biology, rearing of offspring, population dynamics, food habits, and patterns of mortality, provide rich detail on the natural history of this species, much of it first introduced to science by the Craigheads and their colleagues. Frank Craighead presented a non-technical overview of these results in a popular 1979 book, but, for the most part, this information has been scattered through the scientific literature until now.

     Extractions: Every spring Mike Madel deliberately sets out raw meat where ravenous grizzlies emerging from hibernation will find it. He knows the adage that a fed bear is a dead bear, but he's out to reduce ursine mortality, not increase it. By feeding the bears, the Montana state grizzly bear management biologist is making their lives safer. When grizzlies wake from their long sleep, the first thing on their minds is eating. Along the Rocky Mountain Front, east of the continental divide, newly roused bears leave their high-country dens and amble down to the foothills in search of fresh, green plants and carrion revealed by the melting snow. There was a time when the springtime larder was well stocked with dead bison, elk and deerthe old and the unhealthy, struck down by the rigors of winter, and ill-fated animals that drowned crossing deep, swift rivers. But the bison herds have long since disappeared, the rivers have been diminished by dams, and hunters have taken over the role of culling the weak from deer and elk herds. When grizzlies began to look elsewhere for their spring protein hit, their noses led them straight into conflict with the ranchers who now shared their territory. Every year brought an increase in the number of complaintsespecially during calving seasonabout bears killing livestock, damaging property or intimidating people by coming too close. The government's standard response is to relocate "problem" animals, but a repeat offense by an adult male means an immediate death sentence. Females get three chances.

     Extractions: Banff National Park, in the heart of the Rockies, is Canada's oldest national park, and the core refuge for the entire region's grizzly bears. Unfortunately, it is also the most commercially developed national park in North America, with habitat fragmentation and excessive human use seriously threatening Banff's declining grizzly population. Since August 2000 alone, six grizzly bears 10 percent of Banff's grizzly population were killed due to their "inability" to fit in with the planned human use of the park. The Lake Louise area, where four of these bears were killed, is home to one of only three concentrations of breeding females left in the park. Because grizzly bears have the lowest reproductive rate of all North American land mammals, it is difficult for the species to recover from population depletions and habitat destruction. The more "human habitats" are built here, the less natural space exists that these few bears need to survive. What You Can Do Tell Fairmont Hotels, "

     Extractions: Grizzly Bear (Ursus arctos horribilis) A symbol of America's wildlands, the grizzly or brown bear is one of the largest North American land mammals. The grizzly bear's historic range covered much of North America from the mid-plains westward to California and from central Mexico north throughout Alaska and Canada. Today, the grizzly bear is found in only about 2 percent of its original range in the lower 48 states. Between 1800 and 1975, grizzly bear populations in the lower 48 states decreased from estimates of more than 50,000 to less than 1,000. The grizzly was eliminated from much of the West by the late 1800s. As mountainous areas were settled, development contributed to an increase in human-caused mortality. Livestock depredation control, habitat deterioration, commercial trapping, unregulated hunting, and the perception that grizzlies threatened human life were leading causes of the animal's decline. Today the Yellowstone population, residing in portions of Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming currently contains an estimated 400-600 individuals. The grizzly bear was listed as Threatened under the Endangered Species Act in 1975, with primary management under the direction of the US Fish and Wildlife Service. After delisting, the states would assume the primary management role within their respective state boundaries.

     Extractions: Munched by Grizzlies By Evelyn Boswell 9/95 updated 11/96 BOZEMAN A grizzly bear is a farmer's friend when it comes to getting rid of army cutworm moths. Grizzlies eat the moths in large quantities, says a former MSU biology graduate student. The larval stage of the moth plagues farmers by "cutting" through grain stems. Don White Jr. spent four summers watching grizzly bears in Glacier National Park, and he's come to the conclusion that army cutworm moths are invaluable when the bears can't find enough huckleberries. Each moth has enough fat in August to make it worth half a calorie, said White, who completed his doctorate in biology at Montana State University-Bozeman in 1996 and then took a position at the University of Southwestern Missouri. Since grizzly bears eat 20,000 to 40,000 of these "lipid Chiclets" in 24 hours, they're getting a significant number of their calories from moths. In 30 days alone, the grizzly bears devour at least 300,000 calories from moths, which amounts to about one-fourth to one-third of the total number of calories they need to live for a year. Grizzly bears in Glacier Park eat moths from about mid-July to the first week of September, with August being the prime month for fat moths.

Over 200 years ago there were more than 100,000 grizzly bears between the Mississippi River and the Pacific Ocean. Now there are less than 1,000 grizzly bears left in the United States, and they are only located in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, the Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem, the Cabinet-Yaak Mountains and the Selkirk Mountains. The grizzly bear’s habitat in the continental U.S. has been reduced to less than two percent of its original range, which resulted in the bear’s protection under the Endangered Species Act in 1975. Much of its remaining habitat is threatened with further fragmentation by roads and other development. What do grizzly bears look like?

     Extractions: Colorado's Wildlife Company Fall 1994 Grizzly Bears, Are You Out There? Everyone thought there were no grizzly bears left in Colorado until a man killed one (in self-defense) in the San Juan mountains in 1979. Though some Coloradoans think a few grizzly bears still survive here, the Division of Wildlife does not believe there are grizzly bears in Colorado and the state Wildlife Commission officially opposes the reintroduction of grizzly bears. But what would happen, what would it mean, if some were found here? "It would be a surprise, just like it was in 1979," says Judy Sheppard, terrestrial nongame specialist for DOW. The division would launch a public awareness campaign detailing what it means to have grizzly bears in the area, how to safely conduct yourself and what it would mean to kill a grizzly bear. Under the federal grizzly bear recovery plan, Colorado is not considered a high priority area for survival and recovery of the species. If there are grizzly bears out there, it's an isolated population, explains Sheppard. "Before we did anything (to work on grizzly bears), we would have to look at the relative priority of Colorado to national recovery, and weigh the costs and benefits," she continues. Resources for endangered species recovery are limited and need to be focused on areas with the best chance of establishing viable populations. The Nongame and Endangered Wildlife Program is currently in the process of preparing a contingency plan in case grizzly bears are proven to still live in the state.

Behind him, on a wall of his second-floor loft study, hung testaments to the celebrated western writer: the Cowboy Hall of Fame certificate recognizing Guthrie as a charter member, the 1950 Pulitzer Prize for The Way West, the Academy Award screenwriting nomination for Shane. In front of him, though, Bud Guthrie saw a chronicle of decline. Ear Mountain still towered in the distance, but the fields and streams surrounding his boyhood home of Choteau, Montana, had changed, and the land that Guthrie had memorably dubbed "Big Sky" country seemed smaller. When Guthrie was a boy, the Teton River ran full and pristine; he would drop on his belly to slurp its water, or take a dip in the bracing stream, studying the patterns on the minnows. Now irrigation had thinned and muddied the Teton. Ranches where Guthrie had picnicked and chased prairie chickens from the cinquefoil were being subdivided and outfitted with drills for oil and gas exploration. "A man finds few absolutes in this life," Guthrie observed. "But one that forces itself on us is this: Progress leaves no retreat."

Wildlife officers in Alberta have obtained two Karelian bear dogs, a Northern European breed renowned for courage in the face of disgruntled bruins. Using techniques pioneered by Montana wildlife biologist Carrie Hunt, the 19-month-old dogs, Kuma and Mica, are learning to teach problem bears when and where they're not welcome. "In terms of time and animals, it's a tremendous savings," said wildlife officer John Clarke, who along with partner Kirk Olchowy is training the dogs. "It's human-caused mortality that's the main factor influencing whether or not bears can persist long-term in an area," said Carita Bergman, the area wildlife biologist for the Pincher Creek region of Southwest Alberta where the bear dog program is underway. "The number one reason why grizzly bears die is management removal of nuisance bears," explained Hunt.
