This bear got its name from the shaggy looking fur it has. The grizzly bear is very strong. He can kill a human with one swipe of his claw. This bear doesn't see very well. Smelling is what he does the best. Dens or caves are where grizzlies like to live. Insects, wild honey, grasses, roots, berries, fish, moose, elk, deer, sheep, and sometimes other bears are what grizzly bears eat.

Cotton tail rabbit

These rabbits seek out habitat on the fringes of open spaces, such as fields, meadows, and farms, but can adapt to other habitatsincluding those of humans. They browse at night on grasses and herbs and are fond of garden fare such as peas and, of course, lettuce. In winter, their diet becomes a bit coarse and consists of bark, twigs, and buds. During the day, cottontails often remain hidden in vegetation. If spotted, they flee from prey with a zigzag pattern, sometimes reaching speeds of up to 18 miles (29 kilometers) an hour.There are several species of cottontail rabbit, but the eastern cottontail is the most common.
