Hi! I'm Gary the Grizz. I am a 5 year old Grizzly Bear, and I like to be active in the summer because I sleep all winter long, for six months!
I used to live throughout all of North America, but now I have fewer places to live. Logging, hunting and human needs for homes have made my habitat smaller.
My habitat is becoming smaller, and I am becoming more rare because of human actions. I am still hunted for sport, and I lose my homes to other people when they cut down trees for their homes.
