After
polar bears, Grizzlies are the world’s second largest bears. Because of
their height and their aggressive behaviour, they are considered as
very dangerous in their home, North America.
Grizzlies
are tall, strong animals – they stand up to 2.4 metres high and weigh
roundabout 450 kilograms. They have sort of a hump on their back and
strong hind limbs. Grizzly bears are able to run up to 55 kilometres per
hour. They are loners and frequently behave aggressively. Sometimes
they gather at waters to catch salmon. Since they are omnivores, these
bears feed on fish, plants and large mammals like moose, deer and black
bears. They are also known to steal food from wolves or humans.
