We’ve got them up against the ropes. We’re close to defeating the grizzly bears.

I have a hard time believing grizzlies were hanging in the mojave desert or the white sands of new mexico…

They were also in Labrador and northern Quebec

Very sad, they should be at the historic range. To Hell with the Homo.

Is there any overlap?

Imagine being in Iowa and seeing a Grizzly appear through the corn stalks…

Kinda rude to call them horrible like that, scientists…

European colonization decimated North American grizzly bear populations. Within 125 years of European contact, the grizzly population dropped from an estimated 50,000+ to nearly 2% of their original range in the lower 48 states.
The California grizzly, formerly abundant, was completely eliminated, with the last record in 1924, often portrayed as a „murderous beast“ in colonial records. The Mexican grizzly was also driven to extinction.
In contrast, Indigenous American societies had little impact on bear populations, allowing them to thrive for millennia. Groups like the Lakota, Navajo, and Blackfeet, viewed the bear as a protector of the people and an elder brother. They appeared in stories as healers, as they were perceived to know the secrets of medicinal plants.

I swear they were in most of Canada. Ive heard stories of brown bears in Minnesota in the 70s from a guy who I trust to not lie.

This is very cool. It would be interesting to see a heat map of where they are most populated. Growing up near the Alberta Rockies I thought grizzlies were much more common across NA.

They are so thick in the Madison Valley range (MT) that I’ve had to put off hikes until I can find a bigger group. Would love to hike without having to be worried about being mauled constantly. Of course, I understand that this means that the ecosystem is in a good place for the most part. Just trying to share the terrain with our furry, mauling buddies of sw montana

It makes you wonder about some „Bigfoot“ stories you hear from Minnesota. It is not far from the edge of that historical range.

Virtually all of BC has grizzlies. I don’t think those random green sections exist in reality.

Hmm, I don’t see any Grizzlies in western Tennessee. Wonder why they’d have a basketball team with that name then? 🤔
That’s interesting because I know for a fact that Oregon and Washington have grizzly populations.

Grizzly Bears getting deported too Eh?

Wow so the current range and historic range don’t overlap at all? Major doubt.

Bear is so horribilis that every time groups recognize that hey, things are better now! We can reintroduce grizzlies into their old range! The Detroiter guy pops up with „You sure about that? Are you SURE about that?“ Because grizzlies are not to be effed with. You can reintroduce them but some dipshit tourist will wind up trying to hug one or some shit and get full on ate up. I mean what happens if a grizzly has been getting into your cows or chickens and eating them and now you got to figure out how to go out and kill this thing.
Black bears are bad enough and they are everywhere.

This is so funny I am seeing this today. I was just looking at [this picture](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:%22Our_First_Grizzly,_killed_by_Gen._Custer_and_Col._Ludlow.%22_By_Illingworth,_1874,_during_Black_Hills_expedition_-_NARA_-_519426.jpg#mw-jump-to-license) of George Armstrong Custer with a grizzly he got on his Black Hills expedition. I was wondering how tf there were ever grizzlies in South Dakota!
