Grizzlies will eat almost anything. Like all bears, they are part of a group of animals called carnivores, which means meat-eating. However, in most places, grizzlies are not active hunters, eating meat only when it is easy for them to do so. In fact, up to 90 percent of their diet may be plants, including leaves, stems, and roots.
Overall, the most important foods in the grizzly bear's diet at Yellowstone National Park are whitebark pine nuts, graminoids, and ungulates. Grizzly bear food habits are influenced by seasonal variation in available food. Visit here to see the seasonal diets of Yellowstone's grizzlies:
