_ _ _ _THE GRIZZLY BEAR _ _ _ _

The Grizzly Bear is sometimes called a silver tip bear.They weigh from 400 - 1,500 pounds and they range from and even blond,deep brown and black.They are omnivors(which means they eat both meat & vegtables).There diet includes moose,deer,sheep,caribou and even black bears.They also eat fish like salmon,bass,and trout.Since they dont only eat meat here is some other stuff they do eat..... whitebark pine nuts, roots, tubers,berries, grasses, various rodents, army cutworm moths and scavenged carcasses.They live in dens.They are found on the northern side of North America and Canada.They have a 10 inch or 25 centimeters of fat but they hibernate for the winter. Poachers kill bears for their paws, gallbladder, fur, and skin, then those parts are shipped to Asia to use in medecine.These bears live in forested mountains,meadows and river valleys.Although the bear was discovered by Lewis and Clark in 1805 they didnt come back until 1807 so there zoological records werent clear so in 1814 by naturalist.The indians called it the Great Naked Bear.We get the name grizzly from Lewis and Clark because in there journal it said grisly bear meaning savage looking which turned in to grizzly which means grayish or some what gray.So Lewis and Clark had ran in to grizzlys on their expedition......the truth is that the grizzly did not scratch any one on the expedition even though the bears tried so hard.Clark wrote the foot prints were 3 times the size of a humans.In 1805 Lewis and 7 other hunters killed a 300 pound grizzly near Big Muddy Creek.They killed another one a couple days after,Lewis called it “a verry large and turrible-looking animal, which we found verry hard to kill,” as if marking emphasis with extra r’s.<<that is some stuff about Grizzlies.........................................they were used for eating...and their fur to make clothes......
