Alaska is a hot spot for grizzly bears, easily home to the most of any of the 50 states. There are an estimated 30,000 across the entire state, representing over 98 percent of the United States population. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game manages the population, ensuring that the population remains healthy and grizzly bear viewing opportunities stay abundant.

In the early 1900s, tourists flocked to Yellowstone National Park for a grotesque spectacle: grizzly bears raiding cafeteria scraps from landfills, posing risks to humans.
