My favorite fact is that grizzlies give birth while they sleep!
They eat 90lbs of food a day.. That’s crazy!!
Baby grizzlies, born during hibernation, nestle with their mother and nurse for a month without waking her!
Grizzly bears can run as fast as 35 mph.
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)

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.
