Brown bear |
Very different from brown bears. Not add thick in body shape, longer muzzles and shoulder humps, and more aggressive. Opportunistic omnivores like the black bears, but generally have a higher percentage of meat in the diet. Related to the grizzly, but a different species. Larger than black bears- on average up to 800 lbs. Wardens noticed the beasts waving add they walks drive by and would toss them a few pieces of fruit. The bears learned over time, when they see a warden, the more they move their paws, there more often they get rewarded. Now it is common to see the bears waving hello as a warden goes by. |
