What will happen if we lose grizzlies in the lower 48 states?
Why do grizzly bears matter? Why should Americans care about them? Grizzly bears are icons of the wild high country of the American West. When Lewis and Clark explored the West, grizzlies roamed from the Great Plains to California and from Alaska to Mexico. Today, however, the grizzly population in the lower 48 states is about 1 percent of estimated pre-colonial levels, and the few bears that remain are concentrated in shrinking pockets of the northern Rockies and North Cascades. Any American who cares about this nation's history has a stake in conserving grizzly bears and their mountain habitat. Healthy bear populations mean that the land is healthy, and our children and grandchildren deserve the chance to experience for themselves these wild landscapes and their animals.

MSU Scientist Counts Moths
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.

      North American grizzly bears ( Ursus arctos ) are a genetic variety of brown bears, which were first detected in the fossil record relatively recently (about 500,000 years ago). Although grizzly bears belong to the order of carnivores (flesh-eating mammals), they exhibit many traits that allow them to subsist on a highly varied non-meat diet that can, at times, consist almost entirely of fibrous vegetation. Grizzly Bears in North America
      Grizzly Bear Foraging Behavior

      Grizzly Bear with cubs Ursus arctos
      Courtesy Tom Smith ( tom_smith@usgs.gov Grizzy bear adults are large for a carnivore and, depending on the quality of habitat, weigh between 200 and 1000 pounds. This large size allows them to subsist on a lower quality diet by reducing the amount of energy that they need per pound of body weight. Large size also facilitates the long-range movements and very large ranges that allow grizzly bears access to a wide variety of foods. In the arctic, ranges of males and females can average as large as 2,600 square miles and 810 square miles per year, respectively. Compared to North American black bears ( Ursus americanus ) occupying the same habitat, grizzly bears are roughly two times larger in size and have ranges between 2 and 16 times more extensive.

Geographic Range
Ursus arctos once ranged throughout northern and central Europe, Asia, the Atlas mountains of Morocco and Algeria, and western North America as far south as Mexico. They are now found in extremely small numbers from western Europe and Palestine to eastern Siberia and the Himalayan region, possibly the Atlas Mountains of northwest Africa, and Hokkaido. Northern North American populations in Alaska and western Canada remain fairly stable. Many populations in the United States have been extirpated, including those of the Sierra Nevada and southern Rockies. Northern Mexican populations were extirpated in the 1960's.

Encyclopedia Article Multimedia 3 items Brown Bear , any member of a species of northern bear , the widest ranging of all bear species. Several subspecies range throughout wilderness areas in North America, Europe, and Asia. Although the name grizzly bear is sometimes used to refer to all brown bears, grizzly actually refers to one subspecies in the northwestern interior of North America. Members of the subspecies that range throughout coastal Alaska and western Canada are known as Alaskan bears; those on Alaska’s Kodiak Archipelago are called Kodiak bears. On the Eurasian land mass, brown bears extend from Norway to the Siberian peninsula and as far south as Greece and Iraq. Brown bears have large, plantigrade feet (heel and sole touching the ground) and five long claws on their front paws to aid in digging. They may be almost black or very light beige; a few brown bears are pure white. The grizzly bear has deep chocolate brown fur with silver tips. The Kodiak bear is uniformly brown and usually has a ruff of longer hair that makes the head look larger.

Grizzly Bears in BC - Management through the Barrel of a Gun
Fast as a deer, with an excellent sense of smell and exceptional strength the grizzly bear (Ursus arctos), has reached near mythical status in North America. Grizzly in Sedge Grass Two centuries ago, grizzly bears (Ursus arctos) were numerous throughout North America. They populated the western half of the continent, ranging from the northern Arctic to central Mexico in the south. Today however, the grizzly bears' future is grim due to sport and trophy hunting, road building, and habitat loss. Grizzlies have now disappeared from Mexico, most of the Lower 48 (nearly 99% gone), the Canadian prairies and parts of Southern BC. Federally the grizzly bear is listed as a species of special concern In British Columbia, the province with the largest grizzly population in Canada threats to the grizzly bear include loss of habitat, hunting and poaching, degraded fish streams and road construction. In 2001, the new provincial Liberal government reinstated the grizzly trophy hunt despite

Grizzly Bear
Ursus arctos
Description - This large animal reaches weights of 300-1500 pounds. The coat color ranges from shades of blond, brown, black or a combination of these; the long outer guard hairs are often tipped with white or silver giving it a grizzled appearance hence the name. The grizzly has a large hump over the shoulders which is a muscle mass used to power the forelimbs in digging. The head is large and round with a concave facial profile. In spite of their mass size this bear runs at speeds of up to 35 mph.
Distribution - Once native to Asia, Africa, Europe and North America, it is now in some areas extinct or had its numbers greatly reduced. In B.C. it inhabits most of the province except Vancouver Island, the Queen Charlotte Islands and the lower mainland. Nearly half of Canada's grizzly population - about 13 000 - lives in this province. They prefer semi-open country usually in mountainous areas.
Biology - The grizzly bear is primarily nocturnal and in the winter puts on up to 400 pounds of fat, becoming very lethargic. Although they are not true hibernators and can be woken easily, they like to den up in a protected spot, such as a cave, crevice or hollow log during the winter months. Being omnivores, they feed on a variety of plants and berries including roots or sprouts and fungi as well as fish, insects and small mammals. Normally a solitary animal, the grizzly congregates alongside streams and rivers during the salmon spawn. Every other year females produce 1-4 young which are the size of rats, weighing only 1 pound.

Tel: 202-682-9400
Fax: 202-682-1331 STATUS: In 1975, The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service listed the brown (grizzly) bear as a threatened species in the Lower 48 states, under the Endangered Species Act, meaning it is considered likely to become endangered. In Alaska, where there are estimated to be over 30,000 brown bears, they are classified as a game animal with regionally established regulations. DESCRIPTION: The brown bear (known as the grizzly in the Lower 48 states) is a large predator distinguished from black bears by a distinctive hump on the shoulders, a dished profile to the face, and long claws about the length of a human finger. Coloration is usually darkish brown but can vary from very light cream to black. The long guard hairs on their back and shoulders often have white tips and give the bears a "grizzled" appearance, hence the name "grizzly." SIZE: Brown bears vary greatly in size. Adult males can weigh from 300 to 850 pounds while females weigh in between 200 and 450 pounds. The largest brown bears are found along the coast of Alaska and British Columbia, and islands such as Kodiak and Admiralty Islands. Here, because of a consistent diet of high protein salmon, males average over 700 pounds and females average about 450 pounds. European brown bears and brown bears from the interior of North America average about two-thirds the size of these large coastal brown bears. Despite this large size, brown bears are extremely agile and fast, reaching speeds of 35 to 40 mph.

    In general the coastal bears are brown bears, the interior bears are grizzlies and the Kodiaks live only on Kodiak Island. Coloration varies greatly, from black to the famous blondes of Denali Park. Around the world, the illegal hunting of bears (" poaching ") is big business. Various parts of the bear such as the gall bladder and paws are extremely valuable on the Asian black market. An international agreement known as CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) has placed most populations of brown bears on a list known as Appendix II. Commercial trade in plants and animals listed on Appendix II (about 3,700 animal and 21,000 plant species), is permitted as long as it is sustainable and the specimens are obtained legally. In the case of bears, this is seldom the case. The massive curving claws of a grizzly are so impressive that you can buy
