Animals

Grizzly bears, iconic symbols of North America, are powerful and intelligent animals often associated with forests and mountains. However, they also thrive in wetland regions, particularly during salmon spawning seasons. Wetlands provide grizzlies with access to fish, berries, roots, and other nutrient-rich foods.

These bears are omnivores and rely on their keen sense of smell to locate food in wetland environments. They use their massive claws and powerful limbs to dig for roots or catch fish, contributing to the health of the ecosystem by spreading nutrients.

Grizzlies face threats from habitat loss and climate change, which reduce their food sources and alter their migration patterns. Protecting wetland areas is essential for the long-term survival of grizzly bears and the ecosystems they support.
