Grizzlybear

The Grizzlybear.

Information
Write the fir The  grizzly bear  ( Ursus arctos  ssp.), is any North American  subspecies  of the  brown bear, such as the mainland grizzly ( U. a. horribilis ), the  Kodiak ( U. a. middendorffi ), the peninsular grizzly ( U. a. gyas ) and the recently extinct  California grizzly  (U. a.  californicus ). [1]  Specialists sometimes call the grizzly the  North American brown bear  because the grizzly and the brown bear are one species on two continents. [1]  In some places, some may nickname the grizzly the  silvertip  for the silvery, grizzly sheen in its fur.

Since the mainland grizzly is so widespread, it is representative and archetypal for the whole subspecific group. Even so, classification is being revised along genetic lines.[1]  Its closest relatives are the European cave bear and the polar bear.[2]

Except for cubs and females, [3]  grizzlies are normally  solitary, active animals, but in  coastal  areas, grizzlies gather around  streams ,  lakes ,  rivers , and ponds during the  salmon spawn. Every other year, females (sows) produce one to four young (usually two) [4]  which are small and weigh only about 500 grams (1 lb). A sow is protective of her offspring and will attack if she thinks she or her cubs are threatened. st section of your page here.

Height and Weight
Write the seco Most adult female grizzlies weigh 130–200 kg (290–440 lb), while adult males weigh on average 180–360 kg (400–790 lb). The average total length in this subspecies is 198 cm (6.50 ft), with an average shoulder height of 102 cm (3.35 ft) and hindfoot length of 28 cm (11 in). [7]  Newborn bears may weigh less than 500 grams (1.1 lb). In the  Yukon River  area, mature female grizzlies can weigh as little as 100 kg (220 lb). One study found that the average weight for an inland male grizzly was around 270 kg (600 lb) and the average weight for a coastal male was around 408 kg (900 lb). For a female, these average weights would be 136 kg (300 lb) inland and 227 kg (500 lb) coastal, respectively. [8]  On the other hand, an occasional huge male grizzly has been recorded which greatly exceeds ordinary size, with weights reported up to 680 kg (1,500 lb). [9]  A large coastal male of this size may stand up to 3 m (10 feet) tall on its hind legs and be up to 5 ft (1.5 m) at the shoulder. [10]  Although variable from blond to nearly black, grizzly bear fur is typically brown in color with white tips. [11]  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. nd section of your page here.
