Grizzly Bear

Grizzly bears have a keen sense of smell and hearing, but they have poor eyesight. A heavy, fleecy undercoat and coarse guard hairs protect them from the cold. They can run up to 30 miles per hour on land for long distances and are excellent swimmer. Although they are generally solitary, grizzlies are the most social of all North American bears. They’ll occasionally gather in large numbers at major food sources, sometimes forming family foraging groups.
