Grinder, one of the two well-known grizzly bears at Grouse Mountain in Vancouver, dies at age 25. The Vancouver Sun reports that the resort veterinarian says Grinder developed an irreversible spinal condition that leaves him paralyzed in his hind limbs. Other coverage describes Grinder as a major attraction for locals and tourists, noting his long association with the mountain. Global News and the Winnipeg Free Press both identify Grinder as one of the resort’s two beloved grizzlies and highlight that he was adopted as a cub after being orphaned. Across the reports, Grinder’s death is presented as the end of a long period in which the bear was closely followed by visitors and visitors’ families, with the cause described as a serious and lasting medical problem. No other outlets in the provided excerpts offer additional medical details beyond the spinal condition, and there is no mention of an exact date or circumstances beyond his age and the veterinarian’s assessment.
