Brown Bear River

-The Alaskan brown bear is a subspecies of grizzly bear. The primary difference between a brown bear and a grizzly lies in the geography and environment they live in. When you hear someone say “brown bear”, typically, they are referring to the coastal bears of British Columbia and Alaska who feed primarily on salmon and clams. The term “grizzly” refers to the bears who live in the interior of Alaska, as well as Montana & Wyoming. The most notable difference between the two is the size, as the coastal brown bear tends to be much larger than its grizzly cousin of the interior.
