''Mama grizzly'' is a term that former U.S. vice presidential candidate and Alaska governor Sarah Palin coined to refer to herself that has since been applied to female candidates she supported or endorsed in the 2010 U.S. midterm elections (collectively called ''mama grizzlies''). Palin first used the term in a May 2010 speech at a fundraiser for the Susan B. Anthony List, a pro-life women's group, and used it in a July 2010 YouTube video produced by SarahPAC, Palin's political action committee, for the 2010 elections. By September 2010, "mama grizzly" was deemed to be "part of the lexicon" of the election by ''Newsweek'' magazine. It has never been made clear if the term is meant to refer to all women candidates supported by the former governor, or if it is just a general concept about real-life moms entering politics because they fear for their children's future.〔Atal, Maha. (Who Are The 'Mama Grizzlies'? ) ''Forbes''. 2010-10-27.〕 ==Background==
The grizzly bear (''Ursus arctos horribilis''), a subspecies of the brown bear (''Ursus arctos''), is known for its aggressiveness; females are especially protective of their young.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=How Dangerous are Black Bears )〕 The state of Alaska is home to more than 70 percent of the grizzly population in the world.〔 During her tenure as Governor, Palin chose a design showing a grizzly bear grasping a salmon in its mouth as Alaska's contribution to the 50 State Quarters series of commemorative coins. At the April 2007 unveiling of the design, Palin said, "I like to think this is a mama grizzly doing what she does best: taking care of her young."〔
