Arctic Ocean. 
The Grizzly Bear (Ursus horribelis). A North American 
animal, and was formerly found in the Rocky Mountain chain 
and among the mountains of the Pacific Coast. It is so called 
grizzly because it has an intermixture in its fur of gray hair 
with black and brown. It is the most ferocious of North Amer¬ 
ican animals and bears some resemblance to the brown bear of 
Europe, but is much larger. 
The Black Bear (Ursus americanus). It is the most familiar 
species in America, where it exists under a variety of names. It 
feeds on berries, fruits and succulent vegetables; it also has a 
penchant for raiding pig-stys. In size and form it resembles the 
brown bear of Europe and Asia, but the color is a uniform 
glossy, jet black, except on the muzzle, which is fawn.colored. 
It is exceedingly fond of honey and will climb the loftiest trees 
in quest of it.
