Grizzly Bears

[wildlifeandmore]

Here are some Grizzly Bear shots from Grand Teton National Park. A couple of well known Grizzlies and their offspring are frequent to locals and visitors in the park. They are Grizzly #399 and #610. Last year around the end of April Grizzly #610 (offspring of #399) sent her trio of three year old cubs on their way.

I was fortunate enough to get some shots of them still together mid April 2013 at Oxbow Bend on the partially frozen Snake River. It wont be long until they are out of hibernation this spring, I know that #399 has three cubs of her own (as of last October) when I last saw her in a heavy snowfall around Shadow Mountain. Cant wait!

How do you tell one Grizzly from another? They all look pretty much the same to me.

I agree. Only because these bears are well known locally and get stalked on a regular basis. They do have tags in their ears as well, although they are hard to read (i'm not gonna check).
