Description: The North American Brown Bear, also known as the “Grizzly Bear” is found in Asia, Europe and North America, giving them the widest ranges of any bear species. In North America, the Grizzly Bear is now found in Alaska, south through much of western Canada and into portions of the northwestern United States, including Idaho, Montana, Washington and Wyoming, extending as far south as Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. The Lewis and Clark expedition ran into them and called them either, “grizzled” that is, with golden and grey tips of the hair or “grizly” meaning “gruesome”. Naturalist George Ord formally classified them in 1815 as U. horribilis, for its character. wikipedia Most adult female grizzlies weigh 290-400 Lbs, while adult males weigh on average 400-800 and stand up to 9 ft tall on its rear feet. The Alaskan population of 30,000 individuals is the highest population of any province/state in North America. wikipedia Denali, formally Mount McKinley is the highest mountain peak in North America, with a summit elevation of 20,310 feet above sea level. Measured from base to peak at some 18,000 ft, it is among the largest mountains situated entirely above sea level. It is part of the Alaska range that stretches about 620 miles, east to west across the south-central Alaska. According to the Denalinationalpark, there are around 300 to 350 grizzlies that live in the park on the north side of the Alaska Range. The major part of the Grizzly population live closer to the coast and the Salmon. This is a nice Real Photo Card of a Grizzly in its habitat, taken by “Cann’s Photography”.
