=Grizzly Bear=

(Ursus arctos horribilis)
The Grizzly Bear lives in forests from Alaska to Yellowstone and a lot of the northern United States and Canada. They're brown, but their fur looks white-tipped or grizzled giving it its name. They can be from 5 to 8 feet and they can also be up to 800 pounds. They live for 20-30 years.

The Grizzlys eat nuts, berries, fruit, leaves, roots, and animals from rodentsto a moose. They hibernate over the winter, which is also when they reproduce, inside a den or cave. They usually give birth from one to four cubs and the cubs stay with their mother for 1 1/2 to 3 1/2 years. They usually avoid contact with humans, but they will somtimes damage cabins and campsites and raid the lifestock. They are curenntly threatened in the wild. Their closer relatives are Polar Bears and the Siberian Brown Bear. What's an interesting fact about the grizzly is that it can move its 800 pounds of weight up to 40 miles per hour!
