Early morning grizzly in the high country

Yellowstone, late May.

Good stuff, Rik!

Looks like a rather young Grizz, like a 3 or 4 year old. . While at the park, did you meet anyone who knew this bear's history, and could confirm his/her age?

The bear is the one they call Snow. She was born in 2014, if I recall correctly, to the bear known as Raspberry, the daughter of the very famous Yellowstone sow Blaze, who was put down after killing and partially eating a park employee who was jogging alone off trail with headphones and no bear spray and got between her and her cubs. If she hadn't partially eaten the corpse, I think they wouldn't have done anything to her since it was mostly the human's fault. Raspberry for years would hang out in the Mary Bay-Sedge Bay-Lake Butte Overlook area, and still did once Snow and her late brother were born, and Snow now frequents those same areas.
