Grizzly Bears: Facts About the Amazing Grizzly Bear. Animals / Facts

A grizzly is a wild forest animal of incredibly large size and extremely fierce temperament, which allowed it to be categorized as the most ruthless and bloodthirsty species of predatory animals. The scientific name of the grizzly is horribilis, which means «terrible or terrifying».

Grizzlies are characterized by a rather massive build. The distinctive feature of the grizzly bear is represented by long, 15-16-cm claws, thanks to which the predator is completely unable to climb trees, but perfectly hunts its prey.

The body structure and appearance of this bear are very similar to that of the brown bear but larger and heavier, clumsier, and at the same time incredibly strong. Unlike Eurasian bears, North American bears have a distinctive low skull, as well as well-developed nasal bones, and a wide, straight forehead.

The height of the animal standing on its hind limbs is about 2.5 meters with a weight of 380-410 kg. The neck has a very distinctive, powerful hump that gives the animal incredible strength. With a single strike of its front paw, an adult bear can kill even a rather large wild elk or its smaller or weaker congeners.

Interestingly, the largest grizzly is recognized as a male, which lived in the coastal strip and had a mass of 680 kg. His height at the hind legs reached three meters, and the height at the shoulder girdle was one and a half meters.

The grizzly population declined significantly around the end of the nineteenth century when there was a mass shooting of the predator by farmers protecting their livestock from bear attacks.
