Brown Bear Resources is a non-profit grizzly bear conservation organization. We provided "Living with Bears" educational programs across Western Montana. We have free teaching trunks for checkout. The trunks contain 2 weeks worth of curriculum about bears for K-12 as well as hides and skulls. Brown Bear has been working hard to create bear safe urban environments so that bears living near people have a harder time getting in trouble. This entails the educating the public and the placement of bear resistant containers. We coordinate the Rattlesnake Bear Task Force www.rattlesnakebears.org and hold the Annual Missoula Bear Fair each year.

Grizzly Bear
Genus: Ursus
Species: arctos horribilus
The Grizzly Bear is a sub-species of the Brown Bear. The only distinctions are that the Grizzly Bear has a silverish shine to its fur, and a strange shoulder hump that all other bears don't have.

Their body is stout and heavy with
very muscular legs, which allows them to re ...
