3. Diet
Bears are omnivore which means they eat almost anything. A
grizzly bear has one of the most wide ranging diets of any living
animal. A healthy adult eats up to 35 Ib. (16 kg) of food each day.
This can be made up of meat, insects, fish, eggs, roots, berries,
leaves, and grasses. They hunt ground squirrels and young
moose. They eat fish called salmon. They have been known to
prey on large mammals when available such as moose, elk,
caribou, white-tailed deer, mule deer, big horn sheep, bison, and
even black bears.

hills, river valleys, and meadows as well as in
the tundra and along the coast.
