How to identify Grizzly bear
The grizzly bear has a thick coat, usually brown to grey-brown, which often appears lighter on the shoulders. Particularly striking is the broad hump above the shoulders, which gives it a powerful appearance.
Fully grown grizzly bears look bulky and muscular and, when standing upright, can measure up to 2.5 metres. The long curved claws, short tail and impressive broad face make the grizzly bear unmistakable.
