The Grizzly Bear

The grizzly bear, also known as the silvertip bear, the grizzly, or the North American brown bear, is a subspecies of brown bear that generally lives in the uplands of western North America. This subspecies is thought to descend from Ussuri brown bears which crossed to Alaska from eastern Russia 100,000 years ago, though they did not move south until 13,000 years ago.
Except for cubs and females, grizzlies are normally solitary, active animals, but in coastal areas, the grizzly congregates alongside streams, lakes, rivers, and ponds during the salmon spawn. Every other year, female, called sows, produce one to four young (commonly two) which are small and weigh only about 1 pound. A sow is protective of her offspring and will attack if she thinks she or her cubs are threatened. The word “grizzly” in its name refers to “grizzled” or gray hairs in its fur, but when naturalist George Ord formally named the bear in 1815, he misunderstood the word as “grisly”, to produce its biological Latin specific or subspecific name “horribilis”.
Most adult female grizzlies weigh 290–440 pounds, while adult males weigh on average 400–790 pounds. The average total length in this subspecies is 6.50 feet, with an average shoulder height of 3.35 feet and hind foot length of 11 inches. Newborn bears may weigh less than 1.1 pound. In the Yukon River area, mature female grizzlies can weigh as little as 220 pounds. On the other hand, an occasional huge male grizzly has been recorded which greatly exceeds ordinary size, with weights reported up to 1,500 pounds. Although variable from blond to nearly black, grizzly bear fur is typically brown in color with white tips. A pronounced hump appears on their shoulders; the hump is a good way to distinguish a black bear from a grizzly bear, as black bears do not have this hump.
Brown bears are found in Asia, Europe and North America giving them one of the widest ranges of bear species. The ancestors of the grizzly bear originated in Eurasia and traveled to North America approximately 50,000 years ago. This is a very recent event in evolutionary time, causing the North American grizzly bear to be very similar to the brown bears inhabiting Europe and Asia. The grizzly bear is listed as threatened in the contiguous United States and endangered in parts of Canada. In May 2002, the Canadian Species at Risk Act listed the Prairie population (Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba range) of grizzly bears as being wiped out in Canada. As of 2002, grizzly bears were listed as Special Concern under the COSEWIC registry and considered threatened under the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
