States home- the black bear and the Grizzly
bear. Both are omnivores that feed on plants and animals. Both species are solitary animals, living alone most of the time. There are, however, many differences between the two species. The Grizzly bear is usually larger, growing to 8 feet and weighing 800 pounds. The black bear grows to 5-6 feet tall and weighs between 200 and 600 pounds.
