The Top Of The Food Chain
Among the three species of bears native to North America, grizzlies rank second in terms of viciousness, nearly surpassing the white-coated polar bear. Grizzlies not only weigh between 700 to 1700 pounds but can be as tall as five feet when standing on their hind legs.
An apex predator in most ecological systems, they’re more than capable of climbing trees, swimming through most water bodies, and outrunning any human fleeing on their feet. Safe to say that antagonizing such terrifying spawns of nature should be the last thing on anyone’s mind.
