The North American grizzly bear is also a brown bear. Sometimes people would call them brownies. Is that what you think of when you hear the word brownie? Grizzlies live mostly in Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Alaska, Washington and Canada. The grizzly bear can get up to 1,800 pounds. That is about the weight of a big bull. The grizzly is able to stand on its hind feet. When he stands up he can be as tall as 12 feet high. He could reach the ceiling in your classroom. Grizzlies also have a hump on their back but usually bigger than just the regular brown bear. His fur is brown with silver tips. This bear got its name from the shaggy looking fur it has. The grizzly bear is very strong. He can kill a human with one swipe of his claw. This bear doesn't see very well. Smelling is what he does the best. Dens or caves are where grizzlies like to live.
Insects, wild honey, grasses, roots, berries, fish, moose, elk, deer, sheep, and sometimes other bears are what grizzly bears eat.
