Grizzly Bear
Native to the northern USA and Canada, the grizzly bear (or Ursus arctos horribilis) is a subspecies of the brown bear.
A grizzly can be identified by its thick, brown fur, a large shoulder hump, straight snout and rounded ears. They have strong front legs with long claws used for digging and hunting.
They can grow extremely large, though there is a lot of variation in size between different populations. The average male measures 2.2m long in head-body length and weighs 240kg, while an average female measures 1.8m in head-body length and weighs 160kg.

Grizzly bears are solitary, the only exception being a mother with her cubs. They only interact with each other to mate or fight over mates. They may be seen in close quarters when there is a desirable food source, such as gathering at a river's edge during the salmon spawning season. However, bears will usually ignore each other if they come across one another.
