The fur of a grizzly bear rug is commonly medium to dark brown but in rare cases can have a silver tip or blond color. The long guard hairs often have a lighter tip, giving the bears their 'grizzled' appearance. Grizzly bear rugs have very soft and long thick hair. The head is very large and round with a concave facial profile and the claws are extremely long and thick.
Our Grizzly bear rugs are from bears hunted in the Canadian Rockies. Grizzly Bears are protected from hunting in the United States and can only be acquired from Canada. The grizzly bear grows to be much larger than the black bear. The claws of a grizzly are extremely long and can reach 3+ inches.
The largest grizzly bears are found along the coast of Alaska and British Columbia, and islands such as Kodiak and Admiralty Islands. Here, because of a consistent diet of high protein salmon, males average over 700 pounds and females average about 450 pounds. In spite of their massive size, grizzly bears are extremely agile and can run at speeds of up to fifty-five kilometers per hour (thirty-five miles per hour).
