Here's a breakdown of their taxonomic classification:
* Domain: Eukarya (organisms with complex cells)
* Kingdom: Animalia (multicellular organisms that are typically mobile and heterotrophic)
* Phylum: Chordata (animals with a notochord, a dorsal nerve cord, pharyngeal slits, and a post-anal tail)
* Class: Mammalia (warm-blooded vertebrates with hair or fur, mammary glands, and a four-chambered heart)
* Order: Carnivora (mammals with specialized teeth for eating meat)
* Family: Ursidae (bears)
* Genus: Ursus
* Species: Ursus arctos (brown bear), which includes the grizzly bear
So, while grizzly bears are often associated with the "wild kingdom," their true kingdom is Animalia.
