Grizzly bear (Ursus arctos horribilis)

The grizzly bear (Ursus arctos horribilis) is a large subspecies of the brown bear native to North America, particularly in regions like Alaska and western Canada. It typically weighs between 400 and 800 pounds, with males being larger. Grizzlies have distinctive hump on their shoulders, powerful limbs, and thick fur that varies in color from blonde to dark brown. They are omnivorous, feeding on plants, insects, fish, and mammals, and are generally solitary except during feeding or mating season. As predators and scavengers, they play an important role in their ecosystem.
