If you are in Alaska for Alaskan brown bear tours, then you must have heard about the coastal Alaska Brown bears that are different from their grizzly bears.. Brown and grizzly bears have the same genes, but the difference is in their environment. Coastal Brown Bears live in a warmer climate where food is more easily found. Grizzly Bears, on the other hand, live in a colder, tougher climate with less food and a shorter time to find it.
Brown bears use their body language, smells, and sounds to talk to each other. Because there is so much food along the coast, many Alaska bear viewing trips start bear tours in Alaska in Lake Clarke from mid-April. This is the mating season for bears that goes through till early June. During this time, adult male brown bears fight each other to win the attention of a female. Younger bears, though, often play around and wrestle. This play helps them learn how to act in a group and understand their place in the group. fighting among the bears. They often gather together in the grassy areas to eat and take short naps. Some days, you can see up to 20 bears all together!
The brown bears in Lake Clark are some of the biggest in Alaska. Some males can weigh over 1,200 pounds. Although they can climb trees when they are young to get food or escape danger, they don't climb when they grow up. They are too big for that.
Brown bears usually live between 18 and 25 years, but some have lived up to 30. They dig deep caves with their claws to sleep through the winter. During hibernation, their heart rate slows down and their body gets colder. Over the winter, a brown bear can lose up to 150 pounds.
