Grizzly Bear in a River with Big Stick

This young grizzly bear in a river bats a stick around. Bears do not have the fetching instincts that dogs do, but grizzlies and other types of bears will play with sticks from time to time.

This grizzly bear in a river is soaking wet from a morning swim and fishing session. Bears are remarkably aquatic creatures. Fish make up such a large portion of a grizzly bear’s diet, grizzly bears need to be comfortable and skilled in water.
