In North America brown bears are found mainly in western Canada and Alaska; in the lower United States they are restricted to the northern Rockies. They are found throughout northern Asia, while in Europe they have been restricted to deep mountainous areas, such as the Pyranees and Balkans, due to human hunting and encroachment.

Brown bears are extremely powerful animals, with no natural predators other than man. Although slow and lumbering in appearance, they are known to employ quick bursts of speed (up to 35 mph) to take down a meal or remove a potential threat, and one swipe of a large paw can kill an animal the size of a moose. The film ''Grizzly Man'' (2005) tragically chronicled just how dangerous and unpredictable bears can be.<ref>http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0427312</ref>

Considered a sub-species, the grizzly (''U. a. horribilis'') of North America was named for the grizzled appearance of its silver-tipped fur.
