Grizzly bears are found mainly in the northernmost regions of North America. They reside in the tundra and alpine meadows and forests. Their population numbers started to drop drastically after the beginning of the 19th century when grizzlies became popular for hunting expeditions. At one point in the 1970s, there were only 300 grizzly bears estimated to be left in the continental United States. The marmot, a cousin to the groundhog, is considered endangered in Canada. There is very little food in high mountain altitudes for the marmots, and they are easy targets for predators. There were as little as 20 marmots on Vancouver Island....
The grizzly is now considered just an inland race of the brown bear, and since the brown bear is considered "Least Concern" by the IUCN, so must all races of this bear.
