121. Grizzly Bear Sketch and short description from the Canadian Museum of Natural History. http://www.nature.ca/notebooks/english/grizzly.htm

Grizzly Bear Ursus arctos Threatened The grizzly bear has the reputation of being the most ferocious and dangerous mammal in North America. Grizzlies vary widely in body shape, colour and in the shape of their heads. The tundra grizzly is often creamy yellow on the back with brownish legs and underparts. In the Rocky Mountains, the “silver-tip” phase is dominant. Adults weigh from 136 to 526 kg and are prodigiously strong. Although grizzlies will, for the most part, avoid contact with humans, they are sometimes unpredictable and should be given plenty of room. They move with a slow shambling walk, the low-slung head swinging from side to side. They can move very quickly, however, and even horses find it difficult to evade a rushing grizzly. This powerful animal once inhabited almost all of western North America but, with the advent of the Europeans on a new continent, their numbers were reduced until now they are restricted chiefly to the Canadian Rockies and Alaska.

123. Brown Bear APPEARANCE The brown bear (sometimes called a grizzly in North America) is a large animal, usually dark brown in color, though it can vary from a light http://www.bearbiology.com/brdesc.html

Brown bear SUBFAMILY URSINAE Ursus arctos Linnaeus, 1758 From Ian Stirling, ed. Bears, Majestic Creatures of the Wild Emmaus, Pennsylvania: Rodale Press, 1993. 240 pages. APPEARANCE The brown bear (sometimes called a grizzly in North America) is a large animal, usually dark brown in color, though it can vary from a light creamy shade through to black. The long guard hairs over the shoulders and back are often tipped with white which, from a distance, gives a grizzled appearance. The brown bear is characterized by a distinctive hump on the shoulders, a slightly dished profile to the face, and long claws on the front paws. SIZE There is considerable variability in the size of brown bears from different populations, depending on the food available. Determining representative weights of specific populations is also difficult as there are seasonal considerations to take into account-for instance, some bears can weigh twice as much in the fall as they might weigh in spring. Adult males may weigh 135 to 390 kilograms (300 to 860 pounds) compared with 95 to 205 kilograms (205 to 455 pounds) for female s. At birth, cubs weigh 340 to 680 grams (11 ounces to 1 pound 6 ounces). The largest bears are found on the west coast of British Columbia and Alaska, and on offshore islands along coastal Alaska, such as Kodiak and Admiralty. There, males average ove r 300 kilograms (660 pounds) and females over 200 kilograms (440 pounds). Brown bears from the interior ranges of North America, Europe, and the subArctic are roughly two-thirds the size of their Alaskan and Kamchatkan cousins.

Grizzly Bear Close Window CLASS: Mammalia ORDER: Carnivora FAMILY: Ursidae Ursus arctos horribilis CLASSIFICATION: See Carnivora RANGE: Historical: Once found all over the United States and Canada. Current: Now, the grizzly bears are found in Northwest N. America. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Length: 6.6 ft. - 9.2 ft. Weight: Male: 350 - 975 lbs.; Female: 175 - 450 lbs. A grizzly with access to salmon will weigh more. Coloration: One of the BROWN BEARS that used to be considered a separate species, the fur color varies, and can be cinnamon, grey, brown or black, frequently having white tips giving the coat its "grizzled" appearance. DIET: Zoo: Spectrum Feline Diet, 2 apples, 2 oranges (peeled) Spectrum Omnivore Diet (2 lbs./100 lbs. body weight) Wild: The bears feed on carrion, salmon, trout, small rodents, insects, berries, succulent vegetation and roots. Since they can't digest fibrous vegetation, they are selective feeders. BEHAVIOR: Bears are highly intelligent and use complex problem solving skills to find food. When they come in contact with humans they usually retreat, but will attack if wounded or cornered. Reports of bear attacks are generally exaggerated, or the result of a bear that was familiar with being fed by humans, as in a park. Bears usually den up, and spend their winter in the state of winter dormancy, called torpor. They do not truly hibernate.

BROWN BEAR Ursus arctos Description: One of the largest and most widely distributed bear species, brown bears weigh between 300 and 860 pounds and can be up to 9'6" in total body length. They are usually dark brown in color but can vary from a light cream color to almost black. If the tips of the guard hairs are white, they give the bear a grizzled appearance, hence the term Grizzly bear, applied to the smaller of the two North American subspecies, Ursus arctos horribilis . The larger North American subspecies is Ursus arctos middendorffi , the Kodiak bear of the Alaskan islands of Kodiak, Shuyak and Afognak. Brown bears are distinguished by the characteristic muscle hump over the shoulders, they have a "dished" profile and longer claws on their front paws than on their rear paws. Range: In North America, they can be found in western Canada, Alaska, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and Washington. In Europe, they live east of the Stanovoi Range in Russia and in extremely fragmented population in France, Spain, Italy, and Greece. Other small remnant populations can be found in India, Pakistan, Japan, Korea, China, Mongolia, Syria, Iraq, Iran and Turkey. Habitat: Brown bears inhabit dense forests, tundra and lower alpine mountain regions.
