Grizzly bears are mammals that live on land. Grizzly bears have a huge hump on their backs that they use for digging.

The grizzly's fur can be one of four colors: dark brown, brown, reddish brown, and blond. This helps them to blend in with the leaves, dirt, and trees in their environment. Grizzlies can stand up to eight feet tall.

Grizzly claws can be up to four inches long. They have 5 claws on each paw.

Grizzlies eat a variety of foods from the river, animals on land, honey and berries. During migration, a salmon might jump right into their mouths.
