The Seal of Alaska Did you know ... Alaska is bear country. More than 40,000 brown bears (Grizzlies) and 100,000 black bears roam the state. Most of the brown bears are found near the coast. Polar bears live along the shore in the icy Arctic. Polar bears also live on sea ice, and have been spotted hundreds of miles from the shore. When the ice starts to melt they move toward the shore. Denali Park is a popular destination to view the bears of Alaska.
Bears love Alaska.
