Grizzly Bear

The grizzly bear is a large, powerful mammal native to North America, known for its distinctive brown fur and formidable build. Typically weighing between 270 to 600 pounds, they have a robust body, strong limbs, and a characteristic hump on their shoulders, which is a mass of muscle used for digging and climbing. Grizzlies are omnivores, eating a diet that includes plants, berries, insects, and small animals. They inhabit forests, mountain regions, and tundra, and play a key role in their ecosystems. Despite their size and strength, they generally avoid humans but can be dangerous if surprised or threatened.
