The Majestic Grizzly Bear

Grizzly Bears, one of the most majestic animals in the world, protective, yet also one of the cutest animals, EVER! They're mostly found in North America and Western Canada, as they are very adaptable and can be found in most places, from dense woodland and open plains to Arctic Tundra. In fact, North America is home to over 50,000 bears! They are also very hungry! They eat everything from dead animals and insects to berries and fish! As the summer draws to a close they enter a phase called hyperphagia. This last around 2-4 months when the bears vastly increase their calorie intake in preparation for the winter. Bears on the whole are actually quite solitary animals and not particularly territorial, surprisingly this is ideal behaviour as far as scientists are concerned. The bears spend a lot of their time rubbing their backs against trees where they leave their scent and hair. This is perfect for biologists as they can collect DNA from the local bears without being an interference. Grizzly bears are actually one of the slowest reproducing land mammals as the females don't reproduce until they're four or five. If the female doesn't put enough weight on throughout the course of the year, then the female doesn't reproduce that year because she won't have the energy or resources to raise the cubs
