Brown Bear
Brown bears are a symbol of America’s wildlands. In the time of the Lewis and Clark expedition they ranged over much of North America’s mid-plains westward to California and from central Mexico to Alaska and Canada’s Northwest Territory. Today only about 1,000 brown bears are found in the lower 48 states where they have lost 99 percent of their former range.
