VIDEO: Comprehending the speed of a Bear

Given their bulky physique and their slow, deliberate movements, you may be wondering, ‘how fast can a grizzly bear run?'

According to the National Wildlife Federation, the brown bear, also regarded as a grizzly bear, has the quickest forelegs, reaching speeds of up to 35 mph. The grizzly bear is just marginally faster than the American black bear- the nation's most prevalent bear species.

Of course, a bear could only accomplish such a feat when it's at the height of its athleticism. Not when it has just come from hibernation, having lost 15% to 30% of its body weight. Besides, it needs smooth, flat surfaces into which their long claws could sink.

In any case, despite their big muscular appearances, bears are surprisingly fast.
