This subspecies of the brown bear resides primarily in the forests and mountains of the northern United States, Canada, and Alaska. Grizzlies are distinguished by their large size, prominent shoulder humps, and long claws, adaptations that help them to dig and forage in the wild. Mother Grizzlies are particularly noted for their fiercely protective nature towards their cubs, with whom they share strong bonds and teach essential survival skills over several years. With habitats ranging from dense forests to subalpine meadows, grizzlies play a crucial role in their ecosystems as apex predators and facilitate seed dispersion throughout their territories.:
