Message to our Glenwood Springs Grizzlies!
Hey Grizzlies! As November rolls in and the weather gets crisp, here is a fun fact for the season: Did you know that during November, grizzly bears enter a state called hyperphagia to prepare for winter hibernation? Right before settling in for their long sleep, they can eat up to 20,000 calories a day, equivalent to eating roughly 40 double cheeseburgers every single day!
Mark Your Calendars, Grizzly Families!
