Before Europeans came to America, there was a subspecies of the grizzly bear known as the Plains grizzly. It was found in the grasslands of North America. It had very light yellow colored hair and was smaller in size, as adaptations to the grassland life. With the arrival of Europeans, the bears themselves as well as their animal prey food sources were heavily hunted causing their extinction by the mid to late 1800's.
