Grizzled grizzly cub
Silvertip bear is a alternative name for the North American grizzly bear. Here a silver-tipped (grizzled) grizzly cub stands on a fallen log in the fall, Chilko River, BC. The grizzly bear's formal Latin name, Ursus arctos horribilis, came from confusion between grizzly and grisly, or "horrible." Grizzly bears come in a variety of colours from blond to black and often have brown fur tipped in white or gray. The adjective grizzly probably arose from these "grizzled" or gray-colored hairs, and this cub is a great example of this colouration.
