Field Notes

Description:

Grizzly Bears vary from blond to nearly black, grizzly bear fur is typically brown in color with white tips. A pronounced hump appears on their shoulders; the hump is a good way to distinguish a black bear from a grizzly bear, as black bears do not have this hump.

Habitat:

This bear lives in Bear Country USA.

Notes:

This is a Blond Grizzly.
