All bears have the ability to climb trees. -- Many books will say that brown bears (grizzlys) can't climb trees. While they can climb if they have branches, the largest ones are too heavy to climb using just their claws, which are not as curved as a black bear claw is. All black bears can climb trees, but very large males may chose to run or fight if chased rather than flee up trees.

∙ 14y agoIn North America black bears are tree climbers. Grizzly and polar bears are generally not great tree climbers, but all grizzly cubs and some adult grizzlies can climb trees if the spacing of the branches is right. Climbing a tree does not get you out of trouble.

∙ 11y agoIt is a myth that grizzlies can't climb trees. Contrary to popular belief, grizzly bears can climb trees just as well as humans, if there are limbs available for them to use like the rungs of a ladder. Climbing a tree is not a good defense for a grizzly bear attack.

∙ 15y agoYoung grizzlies or brown bears can climb trees as well as most black bears. As the bears age, climbing trees becomes more difficult. Most older grizzlies "ladder up" trees but their weight and claws prevent them from climbing as fast as black bears. yes, good question: CAN they climb trees? hmmm... that question really does puzzle me much.
