How many will make it to adulthood? What’s the normal survival-rate for grizzly cubs?

If a male grizzly doesn’t kill them, the survival rate is pretty good.

These stats are for black bears.
CUB SURVIVAL IN LITTERS OF 1,2 3, OR 4. Says 50% for a litter of 4. As someone else noted males are a big threat. Also, mom has to nurse them 5 or 6 months before they're weaned presuming there's adequate food sources. Often they nurse them for years.

That was only a 3 litter sample of 12 cubs. Overall the survival rate was near 80%

No certainty here but I think I once heard 30%.
