Grizzly bears
Hey, I didn’t see you there, how are you?I'm just wondering whether or not a big ol' grizzly bear is going to come charging at me at any point in my life, but seeing as grizzly bears are endangered that probably won't happen. In the past, there were thought to be around 50,000 grizzly bears in North America, nowadays they are growing sparse there are estimated to be only around 1800, now not even a 20th of the population in the past. Most of these grizzlies are located in Yellowstone National Park and Alaska, but they can also be found in Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho and Montana. Some are thought to be in Washington.
Grizzly bears live in a variety of environments .All of which includes dense forests, subalpine meadows, open plains and arctic tundra . In the past though, they could be found from Alaska to Mexico, and from California to Ohio. Though Nowadays there are efforts trying to make it so grizzly bears can make a comeback and the wild, and all of their efforts are proving to be working, there are 4 times as many grizzlies in the wild as there were in 1975, at

They can be malicious or they can be passive, but Grizzly bears are normally solitary animals. Grizzly bears as big and ferocious as they are aren't very territorial and may be seen together eating where food is abundant, like in a stream where they can catch salmon. When a mother grizzly has her babies she tries to keep them away from other male grizzlies because they can be dangerous to the cubs and try to kill them. When they do venture close though the mother bear might fight back to protect her cubs, ( even considering the big size difference the males and females have). Grizzly bears will do pretty much everything to protect her cub against all of the dangers in this world, fighting back against everything that dares step close to her cubs. Well that’s all for this blog post see you next time on blog posters
Since the beginning of the year we have been reading a book by Ben Mikaelsen named Touching Spirit Bear. Cole starts out as a devious miscreant who never forgave or forgot. Cole soon gets banished to an island for a year. Throughout his experience he learns to start caring and forgiving after being mauled by a bear. To add to that he makes totem faces for everything he encounters such as sparrows, wolves, mice and bears. Each teaching him how he was and what they represented. This project is about how I can be like Cole and make a totem about my life and each animal face symbolizes every part of my life.
Now even though these bears help the environment so will other bears. The Grizzlies are just another species of the many species of bears why are these bears more important than other bears. As we find from the GNWT: “Grizzly Bears in the NWT occur primarily in open alpine or tundra habitats, but they can also be found in forested areas. They have large home ranges relative to most other bear species. On average, a male’s range can exte...
One of the most well-known urban legends told is the story of Bigfoot. Much of the research has shown that there are several names assigned to the mammoth ape. According to Napier (1973), Bigfoot would be the creature found mostly in Northwest America, Sasquatch would be a creature named in British Colombia, the 49th parallel in the north-west states of America and Northern California, and the Abominable Snowman, or the Yeti would be the creature named in the Himalayas. Of course, “Wild Man” and “Savage” have also been names used to identify the creature. There’s been thousands of sightings across the world, but there have also been many misidentifications where those who think they have seen Bigfoot have really just seen an ordinary animal or person. Arment (2006) states an individual’s perception may color the eyewitness account. Such misidentifications include: hermits, fugitives, refugees, bears, gorillas, and simply people making up stories or rumors. In addition to sightings, there have been photos, videos, movies, and TV shows that strongly indicates the possibility of the existence of this creature. Though there is much evidence from sightings, myths, and recordings that Bigfoot exists, there is also much proof that it could all be a hoax. Incorrect sightings have led skeptics to argue over the existence of this being stating Bigfoot is really just a fable. So one has to ask oneself, does Bigfoot really exist or is it just another urban legend?
National Parks are the cornerstone of every country because it preserves the rich cultural and natural resources of a nation, such as Yellowstone in the United States of America. Yellowstone National Park is the World’s First National Park which brings millions of attraction each year, it is larger than Rhode Island and Delaware combine and have over a thousand species of plants and animal (Yellowstone Media). However, a very important type of species has been missing in Yellowstone National Park for a very long time. Wolves, which got reintroduce back into Yellowstone National Park, should stay there because without them the ecosystem would be out of balance.
Although they are now rare, grizzly bears inhabit the dense forest of Montana’s Rocky Mountains. Grizzlies grow as tall as eight feet and can weigh up than 1,000 pounds, yet they can move as fast as a horse. There are six national grizzly recovery zones, and three are in Montana. They are Cabinet-Yaak, Northern Continental Divided, and Yellowstone (Av2 books).
Many people who hunt the limited Grizzly Bears do it to satisfy their own “needs” of achievements. The Grizzly bear is an exclusive species that is only local to British Columbia; therefore it adds to the feeling of achievement for hunters, but it also encourages individuals, environmental organizations, and the first nations to preserve this rare species. Hunting bears is not sustainable and it’s much worth it to have them alive to promote more advantageous benefits than to have them dead with their heads on the wall to amuse people or to disturb people’s thoughts of what was once a beautiful
The characteristics of the grizzly bear as a top predator also make it highly vulnerable to threats. Although it is an omnivore, because it relies heavily on salmon to make it through the winter, it is vulnerable to anything that impacts on salmon runs. It needs wide-ranging habitat and is slow to reproduce. As such, grizzly bears are considered not just a key species but also an ‘umbrella species’ because the protection of their habitats will result in an ‘umbrella of protection’ for a wide range of other species. The protected areas that have been set aside in the Great Bear Rainforest are not enough to sustain healthy populations of grizzly bear so it requires additional habitat set aside from logging. Trophy hunting of grizzly bears also continues to place their population at
A lot of people think that humans are the only ones killing Arctic wolves, but that is not the case. Arctic wolves most dangerous threat is humans, but they are also being killed by gobal warming for melting there habitat to water and since there are less of them now polar bears have a bigger advantages to hunt them down.
Another pro is more people come to Yellowstone National Park to see the wolves since they were extinct for more then 30 years. According to the National Parks Conservation Association, an average of 15,000 people see a wolf in Yellowstone a year. Douglas Smith, who is doing research about the wolves, recording a wolf sighting for 135 straight days from the park roads.
These categories are broken down into different genetics of bear species. The most common bear found in Alaska is the black bear. The black bears are smaller than most bears. They are found in almost all states in the US except Hawaii. Most are found in forest, but some may be found in swamps and mountains. An estimated 100,000 black bears live in Alaska.
In addition, the landscap and climate that mother nature pushed upon me was not the only danger she brought and that I faced out west. An over whelming amount of dangerous wild life were present any many instances. Grizlly bears were the biggest threat during my stay but wolfs and mountain lions were a close second. During my stay on base in canmore there was a bear attack that took place roughly three kilomètres away. Three people were put in intensive-care with life threatning injuries. There were many other cases of bear sighting thought my training but non to the extent of that attack luckily. After hearing about these run ins with bears, the Officer Staff on the military base initiated changes to the protocols in which cadets travelled.
The Black Bear is native to North America; it ranges all over North America even in Canada and in Eight Northern states of Mexico. Black Bear only is found in 41 of the 50 US States. Black Bears need thick wooded areas because they are shy and they like to be by themselves. They can live in other places such as mountains, swamp, abandoned fields (State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry, 2014). When Black Bears live in close proximity to a city the Black Bear(s) will weigh more because of the availability of high calorie foods. (Florida State University, 2014)
However, the overall goal of the ESA is to move endangered species off the list once their population reaches the proposed numbers. Delisting grizzly bears is a matter of maintaining the “integrity” (Rinella, 2016) of the Endangered Species Act. Many organizations, including the National Wildlife Federation, are defending the delisting “so long as adequate plans exist to assure recovery continues” (NWF, 2016). The National Wildlife Foundation has been working diligently on the rehabilitation of habitats and the recovery of the grizzly population, but would like to the see them taken off the list. This sounds contradictory but it is because the NWF believes that a success story of this magnitude can only be continued with the delisting as an
This story is about 3 girls Fernanda, Tanya, and Janethsy. Ages fernanda 12, Tanya 10 and Janethsy 10. Who got lost in a hidden Jungle. They were going on a quest to discover the hidden jungle. They discover many of today’s animals like the koala bear and much more. They even get promoted by the state they feel like they just got on a plane to Disneyland.
My interest in the Giant Panda started when I was six years old, and went to the zoo with my first grade class. I was mesmerized by these beautiful bears with amazing color. The panda bear has black ears, black patches on its eyes, black legs and black arms that stretches across the panda bears back. It might have been their color pattern that I love so much that attracted me to them. I collect small panda bear figures, that I keep on the top shelf in my room. When I was younger I had no idea about the dangers these beautiful creatures would one day be on the endangered species list. As a child I assumed they would always be at the zoo for everyone to see, but I was wrong. The Giant Panda faces many challenges that threaten their existence. One threat is poachers who slaughter the panda bear for their fur. Another reason panda bears are endangered is because of the destruction and degradation of their habitat. The last thing that threatens the existence is the panda bears low reproductive rate. There are several groups working to save the panda bear such as WWF, and the Winton Foundation for the Welfare of Bears. Although the panda bear faces many challenges that threaten their existence, I believe they have a good chance for survival.
