Grizzly bears live primarily in North America, with populations found in Alaska, western Canada, and parts of the northwestern United States including Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, and Washington State. They occupy diverse habitats such as high mountain forests, subalpine meadows, arctic tundra, wetlands, grasslands, and mixed-conifer forests. Grizzlies favor areas with adequate food supplies, appropriate denning sites, and some cover or shelter. They can be found in places like the Rocky Mountains, Yellowstone National Park, and various national parks in Canada such as British Columbia and Alberta. In Canada, they also inhabit regions including Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and northern Manitoba. Their habitats range from alpine and subalpine terrain to tundra and even open or semi-forested areas. They often prefer isolated places away from human development and tend to occupy riparian zones along rivers, meadows, and forest edges.
