Sleeping
The Grizzly Bear has a protective layer of fat that allows it to stay in its den while the weather is cold. It does not really hibernate and can easily be woken up in the winter.
Grizzly Bear Diet
The Grizzly Bear is omnivorous. It eats berries, roots, fungi, grasses, fish, small mammals and insects. Some grizzly bears in the Canadian Rockies hunt larger animals like moose, elk and goats.
Characteristics of a Grizzly Bear
The Grizzly Bear is also known as the brown bear. It has fur that ranges from a cream or silver colour to an almost black colour. Some grizzly bear's fur is tipped in a lighter colour that the rest of its fur. This gives the fur a grizzled look and is how the bear got its name. The grizzly bear has a slight hump above its shoulder and can weigh between 350-1500 pounds.
