DID YOU KNOW?

Brown bears have thick fur which can vary from blonde to light brown to nearly black and all shades thereof, although most commonly they are medium to dark brown, and their fur may appear frosted due to long guard hairs giving the fur a grizzled look, hence the name “grizzly,” or the less common “silvertip.”
