Jeff Wendorff's photography portfolio of
Grizzly Bears from the family Ursidae.
The
Grizzly Bear (Ursus arctos ssp.) is any North American subspecies of the Brown Bear, such as the mainland grizzly (U. a. horribilis), the Kodiak (U. a. middendorffi), the peninsular grizzly (U. a. gyas) and the recently extinct California grizzly (U. a. californicus). Specialists sometimes call the grizzly the North American Brown Bear because the grizzly and the brown bear are one species on two continents. In some places, some may nickname the grizzly the silvertip for the silvery, grizzly sheen in its fur.
The
Grizzly Bear is one of the many species that we photograph on my wildlife photography workshops. You can learn more about my workshops online at
