Grizzly

Well named Ursus arctus horribilis, the grizzly male can weigh up to 1500 pounds and stand taller than a tall man. This grizzly was photographed at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle and is one of a pair of male grizzlies, brothers, living at the zoo, both large bears but smaller than 1500 pounds, though still quite fearsome.

Interestingly, it is reported that grizzlies are moving back into the North Cascades, the mountains which stand to our east. When hiking we always have to be careful about bears and make sure anything scented is tied in a tree away from camp, but our worry is usually the smaller and less aggressive black bear, not these monsters.

When hiking in areas where grizzlies are found they tell you to wear bells on your clothing so as not to surprise a bear and cause it to attack. A ranger in one of the parks put that idea to rest by telling us that the difference between black bear scat and grizzly scat is that the former has seeds in it while the latter has bells in it.
