The Grizzly Bear (Usus Arctos horribilis), also known as the North American Brown Bear, is a large population of brown bear inhabiting North America. They are a very large bear with the male weighing from 400 - 790 pounds and the females from 290 - 400 pounds. The Lewis and Clark expedition named the bear "grisley" but probably meant grisly which means fear-inspiring or gruesome. Although grizzly bears are classified as and have the digestive system of carnivores they eat both plants and animals. They will even eat carrion left behind by other animals. They are very opportunistic feeders eating whatever they can find. Grizzly bears normally hibernate for 5-7 months each year, especially in a colder climate. This grizzly bear was photographed while foraging in Glacier National Park, Montana, USA.

Close-up of running brown bear. Although it seems to be running straight towards the camera, it is actually reacting aggressively to the appearance of another bear on the edge of the clearing.

Photographing brown bears catching salmon is one of the most exhilarating experiences of my life. But more memorable are the moments and interactions between the brown bears, the way a mother bear teaches her young to fish, the way she shares her catch, her protective nature and the intimate moments when a young one suckels. Captured on a cold, raining morning at ISO 800, 400mm, f/4 and 1/1000 of a sec while being the photo guide for Chris Bray Photography small group photo tours.
