Animals
Grizzly
The Grizzly Bear, sometimes called the Silvertip
Bear, is a powerful brownish-yellow bear that
lives in the uplands of western North America. It
has traditionally been treated as a subspecies,
Ursus arctos horribilis, of the brown bear living
in North America.
Grizzly Bears reach weights of 180–680 kg
(400–1,500 lb); the male is on average 1.8 times
as heavy as the female, an example of sexual
dimorpshim.Their coloring ranges widely across
geographic areas, from blond to deep brown or
black. These differences, once attributed to
subspeciation, are now thought to be primarily
due to the different environments these bears
inhabit, particularly with regard to diet and
temperature.
Moose
Alces alces, called the moose in North America and the elk in
Europe (see also elk for other animals called elk) is the largest
member of the deer family Cervidae, distinguished from other
members of Cervidae by the form of the palmate antlers of its
males. The Moose enjoys food from saplings and shrubs. The
name moose is from mus or mooz (‘twig eater’) in several of
the Algoquian languages, spoken by certain indigenous
peoples of the Americas.
