A grizzly bear attack is a serious and potentially life-threatening event. Understanding how to avoid these attacks is essential for anyone who lives or recreates in grizzly bear country.
Grizzly bears are large, powerful predators that can weigh up to 800 pounds. They are typically found in mountainous areas of western North America, but their range is expanding into other areas. Grizzly bears are generally shy and avoid contact with humans, but they may attack if they feel threatened or if they are protecting their young.
