Grizzly Quotes
The grizzly bears that live in and around Yellowstone make up almost half the population in the lower 48 states, and now those bears are at risk.- Lydia Millet
Bears are very nice, as long as you are nice to them.- Karl Lagerfeld
I've seen a few wild grizzly bears, mostly in Alaska and British Columbia, and always from a distance. But each grizzly I've caught sight of was as fearsome and sublime as the last. You never get used to their raw power and massive bodies, or the mysterious intelligence in their dark, close-set eyes.-Lydia Millet
In Vancouver, you have to lock your doors - not for strangers, but for bears.-Sarah Goldberg

Grizzlies in the News
Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon petitioned the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to remove grizzly bears roaming the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem from the endangered species list, a move that faces opposition from anti-hunting groups
Gordon hailed the success of the effort to restore the grizzly population in the GYE, with state officials saying the population has recovered from a low of around 136 bears in the 1970s to over 1,000 today.
.
"This is an extraordinary and monumental success story for species recovery and should be celebrated," Gordon said
"This outrageous request from Wyoming’s governor is the latest attack on animals like grizzly bears by states that see them as little more than targets," Andrea Zaccardi, a senior attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity, said in a statement. "There is no science to back the claim that grizzlies no longer need protection.
The increase in population numbers was helped part by a change in mythology in counting bears.
Historically, grizzlies ranged from Alaska to Mexico, with at least 50,000 bears living in the western half of the contiguous United States. With European colonization, the bears were shot, poisoned, and trapped to the brink of extinction. - Lydia Millet For these reasons there are no known Grizzlies in Colorado
