Grizzly Bear

About Grizzly Bears Grizzlies are large brown bears with black noses and short round ears. The grizzlies have a hump on their back which is a mass of muscles that give the bear added strength for running and digging. Their powerful jaw and claws are good for defending themselves and marking their territory.  The name grizzly comes from their brown fur that has a white tip and gives them a “grizzled” look. Female grizzly bears weigh upwards of 700 pounds. The males are heavier than the females and can weigh up to 900 pounds.
