 Grizzly
Bear Range
Physical Description of the Grizzly Bear
Thought by many to be the “king of bears, ” this bear has a big head, small
rounded ears, and a short tail. "Griz” also have heavy sturdy bodies, strong
muscular legs, and a very distinctive muscular shoulder hump. Brown-colored
claws on the front paws, which are used to dig for food, are large strong and
slightly curved, and make them easily distinguishable from other bears. The
claws on the front paws grow to be three inches long and the claws on the back
paws grow to be 4.5 inches long. When standing on all four paws, brown bears
measure four feet tall at the shoulder and are about 6.5 to seven feet long.
They have a gait similar to that of a human being when walking because their
heels and toes make contact with the ground in a similar manner as humans.
Average Grizzly Bear Weight Range
Mature male grizzly are formidable in size, typically weighing 350 to more
than 950 pounds. Their size and weight depend on the climatic conditions and the
availability of food. A female generally weighs one half to three-quarters as
much as a male.
Range
These magnificent bears live in North America, Asia, and Europe. The population
of brown bears in Northern America has dwindled significantly with the majority
of the remaining bears being concentrated in western Canada and Alaska but other
small populations of griz are found in Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, and Washington.
Grizzly & Brown Bear Habitat
Favorite habitat includes open meadows, grasslands, river valleys, plentiful
cover, and mountain forests. Coniferous forests provide good habitat for brown
bears, but wherever they are found, water sources will be close as they use
lakes, streams and rivers to drink and fish.
Common Grizzly Bear & Brown Bear Hunting Methods
Brown bears are hunted mid April until early June and the first few weeks in
September until late October. Seasons are dependent on the area and many regions
have only a spring or fall hunt, instead of both. Spot and stalk methods are
used when brown hunting in both seasons. Hunters use rifles, both conventional
and black powder, bow and handgun, but a minimum caliber of .338 is recommended.
Grizzly Bear Hunting Challenges/Values
Hunters should be very careful when hunting brown bears; mothers with cubs
should be avoided, as they will go to any length to protect their cubs. Brown
bear hunting is a popular sport for trophy in places like Alaska, and they are
also harvested for their meat.
Interesting Info about Grizzly & Brown Bear
Brown bears consume about 80 pounds of food a day during summer and early
fall.
Brown bears in the wild live up to 25 years
During hibernation, brown bears do not pass out urea or solid waste and are
capable of converting the urea into usable proteins. |
