Grizzly Bear Cubs Fighting Over Salmon
Grizzly Bear Cubs Fighting over Salmon
A symbol of the Canadian wilderness, the grizzly bear is fast becoming a “thing of the past” in regions where grizzly bears once reigned. Here are a seven facts about this magnificent animal.
1. Grizzly bear cubs will nurse for up to three years. Depending on when a grizzly mother bear wants to wean her cubs, a decision often made when she decides it’s time to mate again, she will keep producing milk for up to three years. However, grizzly bear cubs begin eating solid food from an early age and can very quickly become not dependent on mama’s milk.
2. Adult grizzly bears can be surprisingly small. The classic grizzly bear image of a massive golden brown bear is a reality, yet, on the eastern slopes of the Alberta Rookies for example, a mature grizzly bear can be as little as 250lbs in the spring, smaller than area black bears!
3. Grizzly front claws can be up to 4-inches in length, claws as long as human fingers! It is highly advisable you avoid these.
5. The grizzly bear population is estimated at 50,000 animals in North America, with only about 1200 grizzly bears found in the lower-48 of the United States. British Columbia, western Alberta, Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Alaska is the major distribution of North American grizzly bears. There are also 100,000 grizzly bears estimated to live in the former Soviet Union.

Why Do Grizzly Bears Feed On Salmon?
Grizzly bears are a subspecies of North American Brown bears. They are omnivores; they’ll eat anything from berries to birds, and yes, salmon.¹ From June – September each year, the salmon swim upriver to get to their spawning sites. This is when grizzly bears gather to feed on them. This event is known as the salmon run and it offers incredible opportunities to see this spectacle for yourself, up close. Towards the beginning of the season, you may even see mother bears with their cubs, but if you travel towards the end of the season then grizzlies start preparing for hibernation, so you might miss them. But you might catch beautiful Fall Colors and less crowds.
