Meet Our Bears
With their short, curved claws, our black bears are top-notch tree climbers. They aren’t avid hunters though, often preferring to stick out their tongues and use their flexible lips to eat grasses, roots, berries and insects.
Grizzly bears are big. Really big. The large hump over their shoulders is pure muscle. With strength like that, it’s no surprise that they’re great hunters — but they prefer to eat berries, nuts and leaves.
