Domestication
The domestication of Grizzly Bears has proven impractical and is not actively pursued by the local populace. The species' natural behaviors, territorial nature, and potential for aggression make it unsuitable for traditional domestication efforts.

As a result, the Grizzly Bear remains primarily a wild species, resisting conventional domestication practices.
