Good news from Jackson Hole: it appears that grizzly 399 and her four cubs have gone into their den for the winter!
Hopefully they'll stay safe and snug in there until the spring of 2022.
A lot of people and organizations are working hard to try and make the valley a little safer for when they reappear out of hibernation next year. Find my recently published article on the (human-made) dangers that face the bears here: https://www.destinationwildlife.com/blog/an-uncertain-future-for-grand-tetons-grizzlies
Fingers (and toes) crossed!
Here is grizzly 399 and her four cubs earlier this year.
