The Grizzly Bear is a key member to the
Temperate Rainforests found around the globe. Most common in Canada, the
Grizzly has developed many adaptations to it's surrounding environment.
With it's strong jaw, it is able to take down any form of prey, including Elk, Moose, or even Salmon. Despite their thick, warm coat, throughout the winter, grizzly bears hibernate
to conserve energy - since there's less prey found during the cold
months, the grizzly holds off on it's appetite and hibernates instead.
When spring time arrives, the grizzly bears thick claws help swipe at
fish in rivers, and when the new cubs arrive, mother grizzlies pass
along their survival skills to them. Mother grizzlies usually stay with
their cubs for 2-3 years, ensuring that they are able to survive on
their own. Throughout this process, the life and abundance of grizzly
bears maintains a high rate, as they are a key member to the Temperate
Rainforest.
