Isn't it amazing how the Grizzly Bear can survive in very cold climates?  The grizzly bear is a very interesting animal.  The Grizzly Bear have lots of characteristics to help it survive in the cold climate. 

The Grizzly Bear's Characteristics are quite helpful in their climate where they live.   They have thick brown fur.  Their fur helps them stay warm in the winter along with a layer of fat.  For example, this fur helps them so they always have it for hibernation in the winter.  The Grizzly Bear is considered an omnivore but is classified as a carnivore.  This shows that it will eat both vegetation and meat.  This also shows that it will eat almost anything.  In conclusion Grizzly Bears can be dangerous and sometimes unpredictable. 

The Grizzly Bear needs wet areas for food.  For example they will live near a river or stream for fish.  This shows that most of  the Bears prey lives in mountainous areas.  This also shows that the bear needs the fat for hibernation in the winter.  The Grizzly Bear uses all the fat for hibernation.  For example, the fat keeps the bear warm for hibernation.  This also shows that bear will die of hypothermia is there is no fat.  In conclusion the Grizzly Bear needs a proper climate to survive.  The Grizzly bear probably has the best characteristics for an animal to survive in a cold climate.  We should preserve the forests and help control global warming or else the bears and other animals that live in cold or cool climates will die out or even become extinct.
