Ursus arctos, the mighty brown bear, evolved about one million years ago, probably from the black bear family. Today a number of subspecies can be found around the world, including central Italy, Scandinavia, Russia, the Himalayas and Japan’s Hokkaido Island – though their populations are generally very small.

North America has the grizzly, also known as the brown bear, or brownie in parts of Alaska and Canada. The grizzly bear gets its name from the light-tipped guard hairs that give them a “grizzled” look. The Kodiak bear, which is limited to an Alaskan island group, is sometimes considered a separate subspecies.

(from Bears in BC)

In the United States, 50,000 grizzly bears once roamed the land from the Pacific Ocean to the Great Plains, but when pioneers came in the 1800s they wiped out much of the continental U.S. grizzly bear population

I love grizzly bears because they are a very beautiful creatures.They are an endangered species and must be protected. I live in Puerto Rico but Bears are my fav animal forever!
ShootingStarsMag on March 18, 2011 at 12:43 pm said:

This is an interesting fact-

The bears settle in their dens to sleep for the winter. While it is not classified as a true hibernation (since the bears can wake up during this time), the deep sleep allows the grizzlies to conserve energy.

favorite bear fact
NASA is studying bears to learn how they slow their
breathing during hibernation. What they learn could help
humans traveling into space.

Grizzly bears are specially adapted to survive the changing seasons. During warmer months, they eat a massive amount of food so they can live off body fat during the winter, when food is scarce.

Grizzly Bears hibernate for up to six months per year and do not eat, drink or go to the bathroom during that time.

We could save a bundle on our grocery bill if we could learn to do this 🙂

My favorite Grizzly fact: As omnivores, grizzlies will eat anything nutritious they can find, gorging on nuts, fruit, leaves, roots, fungi, insects, and a variety of animals including salmon and other fish, rodents, sheep, and elk.
