Grizzlies are common in the hills and mountains. They eat mostly berries, fruit and insects. A grizzly can weigh more than 1,000 pounds nearly twice what a tiger weighs. The largest bear is the Kodiak, a giant Alaskan brown bear that can weigh up to 1,700 pounds and stand over 9 feet tall. Kodiaks are the largest meat eaters in the world.
Bears are flat-foot walkers with five toes.
The big toe on the bear's paw is on the outer edge of the foot. Claw marks generally do not show up in brown bear prints. And even though they have five toes, only four of them show up in their prints, which can be up to 16 inches long. The smaller brown bear also only leaves four toe prints with its five-toed paw, but their short claws make a mark close to the toe. Grizzly paw prints are recognizable because they have the longest claws of any bear.
