Here's a few interesting facts about bears!
 
As winter approaches, brown bears often called grizzly bears prepare for a long hibernation. During the fall, a brown bear eats practically around the clock, stocking up for the four to seven months when it'll have to live off stored body fat. A grizzly could munch out as much as 90 pounds of food each day.
As the cold weather settles in, the fattened bear waddles into a den among rocks or one it dug out among tree roots. As it falls into a deep sleep, the bear's heart rate drops from about 40 beats a minute to as low as 8 beats a minute. All of the bear's body functions slow down. 
 Brown bears are found in northern North America, Europe, and Asia, in isolated areas that are undeveloped by humans.
Brown bear cubs depend on their mother's milk for the first year of life. In North America, most brown bears live in the western provinces of Canada and in Alaska. Smaller populations live in Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, and Washington.

Male brown bears average about 700 pounds (318 kilograms). Females average about 350 pounds. Standing upright on its hind legs, an average sized male brown bear may reach seven feet.

When a grizzly bear stands on its hind legs, it is not doing so as a threat. It's curious, trying to get a better view of what's in the area.
