Despite the common misconception, Grizzly Bears are not a separate species. They are in fact a part of the brown bear family, consisting of the mainland brown bear, peninsular brown bear, and Kodiak bear subspecies that are native to North America. These incredible animals are typically known for their territorial and aggressive behavior, but it's interesting to note that they usually avoid human interaction, becoming aggressive primarily when surprised or when defending their food sources or offspring. Regrettably, these powerful creatures are facing threats in the form of habitat loss and fragmentation, and are currently considered as threatened in the United States and endangered in parts of Canada.Our Safari Ltd.
