Commonly referred to as brown bears in Alaska; the term “grizzly” is reserved for those brown bears found in the interior of Alaska. Adult males typically weigh up to 800 lbs with adult females weighing up to 500 lbs. Standing heights can reach as tall as 7 ft! Because the head and shoulder hair of the adult grizzly bear is often tipped white, they take on a “grizzled” appearance — hence, the name!
