Diet
Famously omnivorous, the grizzly bear will eat all manner of plants and animals. From dirt grubs to elk and from grass to berries, virtually nothing is off the menu.
Where they can find them, grizzlies seem to very much enjoy fish. These bears are known to congregate at rivers and snag salmon as they jump up rapids and falls.
Regardless of the source, grizzly bears need to eat a LOT. With hibernation for Alaskan populations lasting up to six months, bears often bulk 800-1200 pounds during the warmer months.
