Field Notes
Description:
This is an adult female Grizzly which had 3 large cubs following closely behind. Female grizzlies weigh 130–200 kg (290–440 lb) and this one has been fattening up on the local chokecherries. Grizzly bears hibernate for 5–7 months each year. During this time they give birth to their offspring and do not defecate or urinate.
Habitat:
In North America, the species is now found only 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, but is most commonly found in Canada.
Notes:
The mountains in the background are the Canadian Rockies. It was quite a sight to her and her 4 cubs walking around the cabins.
