The Grizzly Bear (Ursus arctos horribilis) is a large carnivore native to the forests of North America. It is available in Zoo Tycoon, Zoo Tycoon 2, Zoo Tycoon (Xbox), and both DS games.

Description

The grizzly bear is a subspecies of brown bear, the most widespread of all eight bear species. Like all brown bears, it has a comparatively large head, a muscular hump on its shoulder and long, blunt claws which are adapted for digging. Males can be up to 30% larger than females.

The grizzly bear is one of the larger subspecies of brown bear, with adult males reaching up to 3.35ft (1.02m) at the shoulders and weighing in at 790lb (360kg). Its brown fur is generally "grizzled" in lighter tones of gray or white at the tips, which is a possible explanation for its common name.

Like all bears, grizzly bears are typically solitary animals. They can be found across a wide range of habitats across North America. While most people picture grizzly bears as carnivores, they are actually omnivores, feeding on a variety of meat, plants, roots, berries, insects and fish.

Zoo Tycoon

The grizzly bear is an adoptable animal in Zoo Tycoon and is available in the base game. In Freeform mode, it is one of eight animals in the base game that is initially available without research or waiting a number of months. It is present in several of the games' scenarios.

The grizzly bear is a coniferous forest animal, although it does also require some deciduous forest, grass and fresh water in its exhibit. It is one of the select land animals in the game that can swim. Although it requires a large enclosure, the grizzly bear is one of the easiest animals to raise, as they have very little terrain requirements. They are easily bred, although they can also be kept alone.

Grizzly bears can coexist with black bears as long as the exhibit has around 40% coniferous terrain, 40% deciduous terrain, and 10% fresh water. The combination of the two creates a very popular exhibit.

Zoo Tycoon 2

The grizzly bear is an adoptable animal in Zoo Tycoon 2. In Campaign and Challenge mode, it can be adopted after the player has reached 3 and a half stars.

The grizzly bear is a Boreal Forest animal and requires a large exhibit. They can be provided with a wide variety of food items, including meat, fish and honey. They are easily bred and can give birth to 1-3 cubs at a time.

Zoopedia Description

The grizzly bear is one of several subspecies of the brown bear, the widest ranging of all bear species. Although the name grizzly bear is sometimes used to refer to all brown bears, grizzly actually refers to one subspecies in the northwestern interior of North America. Members of the subspecies that range throughout coastal Alaska and western Canada are known as Alaskan bears; those on Alaska's Kodiak Archipelago are called Kodiak bears. On the Eurasian land mass, brown bears extend from Norway to the Siberian peninsula and as far south as Greece and Iraq. Brown bears have large, plantigrade feet (heel and sole touching the ground) and five long claws on their front paws to aid in digging. They may be almost black or very light beige; a few brown bears are pure white. The grizzly bear has deep chocolate brown fur with silver tips. The Kodiak bear is uniformly brown and usually has a ruff of longer hair that makes the head look larger. Brown bears, along with polar bears, are the largest of the bear species. Brown bears range in weight from 90 to 800 kg (200 to 1760 lb), and adult males generally weigh more than adult females. Kodiak bears, which often feed on salmon, can weigh more than 700 kg (1700 lb). Grizzly bears, with a diet of berries, vegetation, and small mammals, are smaller than Kodiak bears. Depending on habitat, the average weight of grizzlies varies from 150 to 360 kg (330 to 794 lb) in Alaska and British Columbia, 95 to 139 kg (209 to 306 lb) in the Yukon Territory, and 102 to 324 kg (224 to 714 lb) in Yellowstone National Park. Males and females are together only during the breeding season (May to June), but family groups may stay together for two to three years. Brown bears generally inhabit open areas, including the plains and the tundra. They may remain dormant without eating for up to seven months, usually at high elevations in dens or caves. During this dormant period, they are lethargic and less sensitive to danger. Their temperature declines only slightly, but their respiration and heart rate drop dramatically. When active, they eat enormous amounts of fish, berries, and succulent plants, sometimes consuming 40 kg (90 lb) of food per day. Females have their first young at five to seven years old. They normally give birth to two cubs, skipping three to four years between litters. They can reproduce until almost 30 years of age, but few survive beyond the age of 20. Brown bears make a loud roar when injured, but normally warn other bears and people by huffing, or making chomping or clacking sounds with their teeth. They almost always avoid confrontations with people. In most of their range, brown bears are relatively secure, although habitat losses pose a threat. Fun Facts There are many subspecies of brown bear, including the grizzly and the Kodiak. Unlike animals that hibernate, brown bears awaken easily during winter sleep and sometimes walk about. Coastal populations of brown bears that feed on fatty salmon may be three times larger than inland brown bear populations that subsist on plants, insects, and some meat. Brown bears are not always brown - they may have black, red, or gray coats.

Zoo Tycoon Xbox

The grizzly bear is an adoptable animal in Zoo Tycoon (Xbox). It is initially available from the start, being the first bear and one of the first animals available to adopt.

The grizzly bear prefers the Alpine enclosure and is compatible with other bear species.

Trivia

• In Zoo Tycoon, the information plaque shows the grizzly bear in the deciduous forest biome, despite being a coniferous forest animal.
• In Zoo Tycoon 2, the grizzly bear is given the endangered conservation status, but has since been reclassified as least concern.
• The location map for the grizzly bear in Zoo Tycoon (Xbox) better matches the range of the general brown bear and not the grizzly, which is only found in North America.
  • The part of the grizzly bear's range in North Africa is actually the range of the extinct Atlas Bear, the only brown bear subspecies known to have been native to Africa.
