Although this book is mainly about grizzly bears, other mammals are compared to them.  The grizzly’s features are compared to the wolverine and the three-banded armadillo.  Wild boars are also omnivorous and will dig to find roots and insects.  Like bears, the skunk will hibernate during cold months.  The American bison is large like the grizzly, inhabit similar places, yet remain active during the winter months.  Both the grizzly and jaguars are solitary animals and share similar life cycles.  The title is rather misleading.  When selecting this book, one expects to learn about the grizzly bear.  However, the focus is comparing the traits with a variety of other animals.  While one learns a great deal, it is difficult to put it all together.  A trait chart on page 30 finally clarifies the reasons each of the animals can be compared to the grizzly.  Also included are a glossary, bibliography, websites, and an index.
