HOME >> Wildlife Protection >> Wildlife Facts WILDLIFE FACTS ... Steller Sea Lion GRIZZLY BEAR (Ursus arctos horribilis) Factoid: Despite its large size, the grizzly can reach speeds of 35 to 40 miles per hour. Status: Threatened Population: Approximately 850 bears exist in the lower 48 states. Threats: Threats to the survival of the grizzly bear include habitat destruction caused by logging, mining and human development and illegal poaching (illegal killings). Survival: Grizzlies can live up to 30 years in the wild. The grizzly's distinctive features include humped shoulders, a long snout, long curved claws and a grayish, silvery back. They can weigh anywhere from 350 to 800 pounds and reach a shoulder height of 4.5 feet when on all fours. Standing on its hind legs, a grizzly can reach up to 8 feet. A grizzly in Yellowstone National Park needs your help. Play the Bear Necessities Grizzlies prefer rugged mountains and forests undisturbed by human encroachment. They can be found today in Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Washington, Alaska, and Canada.

Grizzly Country Return To: The American Grizzly Bear email: jrmusgrove@att.net This page contains photographs of grizzly bears from Katmai National Park, the Alaska/Chilkat National Bald Eagle Preserve, Glacier National Park, and Yellowstone National Park. With the exception of Diver (below), who is a veteran of Brooks Falls in Katmai, all the names associated with these grizzly bears are strictly personal. I visited Katmai in August 1996. There are few controls on visitation (unlike McNeil River). Hopefully, McNeil-type regulations will be implemented before a serious tourist/grizzly incident occurs. Diver I have been lucky enough to see many grizzly bears in the wild. Discovering a sign on a trailscat or a trackis exhilarating. Catching a glimpse of a grizzly bear is an experience that will never be forgotten. On May 25, 1998, I photographed this grizzly bear family (below) on Going to the Sun Road in Glacier National Parka potentially dangerous situation for these grizzlies. Françoise and I watched this beautiful four-year old female grizzly (below) for two hours at Yellowstone Lake on May 24, 1997. She was digging pocket gophers and eventually drew quite a crowd of people. As she moved closer to the road and the Lake Hotel, Park Rangers threw rocks at her to keep her in place. This was obviously a good food source for her after a harsh Yellowstone winter. I wonder if she will return in a couple of years with her cubs, or will she get into trouble for encroaching on this "prime human habitat" next to the Lake Hotel and be moved or removed?

Please don't attract bears to your neighbourhood! Hosted by KICS Bear Aware is a program of the British Columbia Conservation Foundation Bear Aware is an educational program designed to prevent and reduce conflicts between people and bears in our communities. While most of us enjoy beautiful BC's wildlife, we don't want bears in our backyards! Both people and bears would be better off if there were fewer bears in our towns. Because bears are simply animals seeking whatever food they can find, the onus is on us to prevent conflicts. If we all took more responsibility for our garbage, tree fruit and kitchen compost the bear "problem" would largely disappear, as it has in many jurisdictions. In the last decade, thousands of black bears and hundreds of grizzlies have been killed. Millions of tax dollars have been spent addressing the issue of bears that have become conditioned to feeding on food sources we provide. Relocating bears or killing them in unprecedented numbers has not reduced the problem.

24. Grizzly Bear - National Wildlife Federation Learn about grizzly bear. Brown bears and "grizzly" bears are actually the same species species that, in part of its range, overlaps with grizzly bears. Typically they are smaller, with shorter front claws http://www.nwf.org/grizzly

About NWF Contact Us Search IN-DEPTH RESOURCES: OUR PROGRAMS WHERE WE WORK NEWSROOM Home ... More Wildlife Introduction The grizzly is a symbol of the American wilderness. Lewis and Clark found a healthy grizzly population when they explored Idaho's Bitterroot Mountains in the early 19th century. As the nation expanded westward, grizzly numbers plummeted due to unchecked hunting and trapping. The grizzly is now "threatened" in the lower 48 states. Photos: During winter, a bear may lose from 15 to 27 percent of its pre-denning body weight. Latin Name: Ursus arctos Family Name: Ursidae (Bear) Related Species: Brown bears and "grizzly" bears are actually the same species. Some people are confused because North Americans commonly call this species the grizzly bear in interior areas and the brown bear in coastal areas although they are the same species. Coastal bears are typically larger and darker, due to salmon and other rich coastal foods in their diet. The interior-dwelling grizzly got its name because of its grizzled, silvertipped coat. This species ranges in color from very light blond to almost black. Black bears (Ursus americanus) are a forest-dwelling species that, in part of its range, overlaps with grizzly bears. Typically they are smaller, with shorter front claws and without such a marked shoulder "hump." Black bears may be black, brown, cinnamon, or even pure white (the white form is sometimes seen in a coastal portion of British Columbia).

Grizzly Bear Encounters Return To: The American Grizzly Bear e-mail: jrmusgrove@att.net All Images Below Are Thumbnails: Click On Image If You Want A Larger View Grizzly Bear encounters and attacks are extremely rare . A person visiting Yellowstone or Glacier National Park is much more likely to be injured in an automobile accident or a fall than by a grizzly bear. The overwhelming odds against being injured by a grizzly bear are widely reportedI will not recite them here. Having said thatgrizzlies are powerful animals with the ability to inflict severe wounds with little effort. Precautions should be taken to try to avoid an encounter when entering Grizzly Country, but there are no hard and fast rules to ensure an encounter will not occur. How does one avoid an encounter? If an encounter occurs, what action should one take? Books have been written on the subject and the National Park Service and others provide information and suggestions through brochures and information on their websites. I will discuss my ideas, which have been developed to a great extent from visiting websites with information on bears and by reading brochures and books on the subject (such as Bear Encounters, Their Causes and Avoidance

32. Brown/Grizzly Bear Facts There is a continuum of difference between the larger coastal brown bears and the interior individuals that are generally called grizzly bears. http://www.bear.org/Grizzly/Grizzly_Brown_Bear_Facts.html

Brown/Grizzly Bear Facts Building Fund Home Page Black Grizzly ... Search Taxonomy: While there has been much confusion about the taxonomy of brown bears ( Ursus arctos ), taxonomists agree there are at least two subspecies in North America the grizzly bear ( U. a. horribilis ) and the Kodiak bear ( U. a. middendorffi There is confusion about whether to consider others, like U. a. gyas and U. a. macfarlani , as separate subspecies. The Kodiak bear has lived separately on Kodiak, Afognak, and Shuyak Islands in southwestern Alaska for thousands of years with no interbreeding with other populations. However, there is no such geographic demarcation between the coastal U. a. gyas and the inland U. a. horribilis There is a continuum of difference between the larger coastal brown bears and the interior individuals that are generally called grizzly bears. Coastal brown bears have a greater amount of animal protein in their diet, achieve larger size, and have slight differences in coloration. At any point from the coast to the interior there is interbreeding between the populations (Jonkel 1987, p 456-473).

Bears and humans tread common ground in NATURE's "Walking with Giants: The Grizzlies of Siberia." Jutting into the North Pacific from Siberia, Kamchatka is a rugged peninsula of volcanic craters and steep valleys. While its impenetrability once made Kamchatka the perfect home of a notorious Soviet prison camp, its isolation also has kept it a haven for one of Earth's last giants, the grizzly bear. In fact, there are more grizzlies per square mile there than anywhere else on the planet. The discovery of this bear sanctuary gave two naturalists, Charlie Russell and Maureen Enns, the opportunity they'd been looking for to live among the grizzlies and study them in close proximity to understand their true nature. 800 x 600 1024 x 768 Download the Grizzlies of Siberia wallpaper for your desktop!

Black Bears and Bear Hunting Tactics As with all predators, black bears are relatively few and far between compared to prey species such as rabbits and deer, so it's especially important to choose your hunting area carefully and do some scouting before the season. The way to a grizzly bear is through it's stomach. As with the black bear, when the grizzly is not hibernating, resting, or preoccupied with mating, it's either eating or looking for something to eat.
