In the wild, a grizzly bear lives about 20 to 25 years. That’s it? Yep. That’s about the same as your house cat, if your cat ate 40,000 calories a day and had a killer left hook. But wait—a lucky few hit 30.
In captivity, they stretch to 40 or even 44 years. What’s the secret? No angry moose. No winter famines. Just a steady buffet of kibble and zero bear-on-bear drama.
