Grizzly Bear
| This research report is on the Grizzly bear. The
scientific name of this animal is ursus arctos. The family my animal belongs in is the
mammals. The status of my animal is vulnerable. The things that are in my report are the
interesting facts, habitat, food appearance, threats. I think someone should read my
report so the people who read it know how to help this animal. A Grizzly bear is noticed by a hump on its shoulders. The Grizzly has a long muzzle and a concave face. A Grizzly's pelage is long around its shoulders. The Grizzly has extremely long front claws. Grizzlies are as long as 2.6 meters in length. The colour of a Grizzly can be from creamy yellow to black. Most Grizzlies have white tipped hairs around the face and shoulders. Almost all of the Grizzlies are found in British Columbia and the Yukon Territories but also in Alberta and the Northwest Territories. The habitat is coastal rainforest, boreal forest and alpine forests. Grizzlies are generally omnivores that eat meat and plants. Plants like Hedysarum roots, hair-grass, horse tails and other leafy plants are most of the diet for a Grizzly. The most dangerous threat to a Grizzly is humans. One of the threats is because people are coming close to their denning area. Another one is the increased people in bear country. And also the increase use of back country. Sometimes Grizzlies are killed by humans in self defense. Also improper garbage disposal. Grizzlies are a subspecies of a brown bear. Grizzlies have large bodies and folklore tails. By Daniel
