Grizzly Conservation | Born in the Rockies (Grades 6-8, 9-12)
The Rocky Mountains stretch from central New Mexico to Northern Canada and hosts many kinds of ecosystems. It is a place that many animals call home, some live there year-round while others migrate to mate and raise young. The grizzly bear is an iconic species found in the Rocky Mountains. Grizzly bear cubs are born during hibernation and are raised by a fiercely protective mother for about two years. Observe a grizzly family during their second year and learn about some of the challenges they face while growing up in these videos from NATURE’s Born in the Rockies.
