Did you know…
- The grizzly is the second-largest land-based carnivore in North America, after the polar bear. Males average 250 to 350 kilograms and females 125 to 175 kilograms.
- Although a grizzly does not hibernate, its metabolism slows down in winter time, making it less active and thus more reliant on stored calories.
- Grizzlies can run in bursts of up to 45 kilometres per hour.
- Despite their fearsome reputation, grizzlies avoid humancontact.
- In the wild, grizzlies can live up to 25 years.
- The Canadian range of the grizzly bear once extended as far east as Manitoba, but today is limited to British Columbia, Alberta, the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and Yukon.
