The
grizzly bear is any North American subspecies of the brown
bear, including the mainland grizzly, the Kodiak bear, the peninsular grizzly and
the recently extinct California grizzly
and Mexican grizzly bear. Specialists
sometimes call the grizzly the
North
American brown bear because the grizzly and the brown bear are one
species on two continents.
The grizzly is
nicknamed the
silvertip bear for
the silvery, grizzled sheen in its fur. Since the mainland grizzly is so
widespread, it is representative and archetypal for the whole subspecific
group.
