Black and grizzly bears feed on vegetation such as berries, nuts, leaves and flowers. The grizzly will also feed on animal carcass. Some fisherman have lost their catch to a hungry bear. The appearance of these bears can be deceiving at times. I ve seen black bears that are black as coal and brown, while some may also be blonde.
Grizzlies can be cinnamon, brown, blonde and black.
The grizzly has a shoulder hump and the black bear does not. The length of the grizzly can be six to seven feet and when standing on its hind legs it could make Michael Jordan look short. The number of grizzlies have fallen over the years dramatically. This is due in part by habitat destruction and the ongoing conflict with humans. Glacier National Park has come up with a way to census the grizzly bears within the park.
