How is a polar bear different from a grizzly bear?

Answer 1

Polar Bears are different to Grizzly Bears even though they are in the same family, they are different because Polar Bears have a longer neck and Grizzly Bears live on land more than on the sea ice.
They are different because polar bears are white and grizzly's are brown or black also polar bears live in the Artic and grizzly's live in woods.

Answer 2

Black bears are black, polar bears are "white" (actually they've got translucent fur). Black bears are found in boreal and temperate forests, whereas polar bears are found in the Arctic on the sea ice. Polar bears are more carnivorous than black bears.

Answer 3

Well, There really isn't much difference. The word 'grizzly' means snow in latin, Polar is a region that is near one of the poles (north and south). They both live in extremely cold conditions and are capable of living off one decent meal every few months (e.g. a seal). They are both white in colour as the have a genetic defect in the colour of their fur, meaning that their fur is clear and they appear the colour of their skin: white.

So, to recap, they are both white, they both live in polar regions and are both able to go an extremely long time without food. Hope this helps.

The grizzly has silver tipped hairs on its brown fur, giving it a grizzled appearance. The grizzly is a race of the brown bear, and it and the polar bear are very closely related, the polar splitting off from the family around 400,000 years ago.

Answer 4

Answer 5
