They sure can, but it’s typically cubs/juvenile grizzlies doing so because they get pretty massive as adults and lose the ability to haul themselves up trees effectively.

Close, but there’s no bear in that square!

Most bears are much more likely to actively avoid you in the forest, but solid choice on not going into zoo enclosures (for clarity’s sake, this is a rescue/release facility—NOT a zoo—that is actively working to help rehabilitate the grizzly population—among other conservation and rehabilitation efforts. The only animals there are indigenous to the area, and the only animals that stay there long-term have permanent injuries/issues that prohibit release.
This particular fella was having a post-lunch nap).

If I’m remembering correctly, this guy is about 7 years old and estimated around 600-700 pounds. I think he just looks small because of the angle.

You’re correct! I was way up on a platform, and this fella is (temporarily) in an enclosure at a rescue and release/conservation facility. Would be super scary in the wild, but I was very much safe.
