Biology
Physiology
The grizzly bear is a giant creature. It has long, dark fur and very large paws with long claws. It is shown to be very strong and powerful, with the ability to crush Balto with one hand. Its eyes are yellow with minimal detail.
Because of the bear's large size, some fans debate over the bear's species - some fans say that it is more likely to be a Kodiak bear because of it's size.
Personality
The bear is shown to be quite aggressive, probably because Balto and his friends unknowingly walked into its territory.
History
In Balto
While Balto, Boris, Muk and Luk were searching for the lost sled team, they are attacked by the Grizzly bear. It seems that the bear had been following them for a while. When Muk and Luk throw a snowball at Boris, the Goose turns around in annoyance, and see the polar bears shivering with fright. Boris thinks that they are scared of what he might do to them, but he notices the grizzly and his mouth drops in shock. The grizzly traps Boris and the polar bears underneath a branch, and when Balto tries to defend them, he is easily overwhelmed and crushed beneath the bear's giant paw. Just as Balto starts to suffocate, Jenna comes to his rescue, attacking the bear and wounding her paw in the process. The bear then turns to attack Balto again, who lures it out onto a frozen pond. The giant bear falls through the ice into the freezing water and this is the last we see of it.
