	Grizzly Bear - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Female Grizzly Bear in Yellowstone National Park, U.S.A. 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 dimorphism.
		Being omnivores, grizzlies feed on a variety of plants and berries including roots or sprouts and fungi, as well as insects and smaller mammals; what is eaten depends largely on time of year and precise location.
		Grizzly bears in general will feed on fish like salmon, trout, and bass, and those with access to a more protein-enriched diet in coastal areas can grow much larger than their herbivorous cousins.
