Description
Grizzly bears are sexually dimorphic (2 distinct gender forms): males may be 20% - 100% larger than females. Although they are usually dark brown, their coloration varies from cream to almost black. They are very strong and have an excellent sense of smell. They have a prominent shoulder hump, a snout that rises abruptly on the forehead, shaggy fur, long front claws and a face with a slightly dished profile.
