Grizzly Bear 399 was a remarkable ambassador for her species and for the GYE. Known for her strength, resilience, and nurturing spirit, for nearly three decades, she roamed the landscapes of Grand Teton National Park captivating the hearts of all who encountered her.

As a mother, she raised numerous cubs, teaching them the ways of the wild and showcasing the beauty of family bonds in nature to all that visited the area.

399 became a symbol of hope and conservation, inspiring many to appreciate and protect our natural world. Her legacy reminds us of the importance of coexistence with wildlife and the need to preserve their habitats for future generations.

In remembering Grizzly Bear 399, we honor not just her life, but the spirit of the wilderness she embodied. Her impact will resonate in the hearts of all who cherish nature and our wild environment.

It has been an incredible privilege to watch her raise her young over the past 15 years that we have been working in the parks and she will greatly missed by our team and our community 📸 by Daryl Hunter

Basking in the Sunlight in Grand Teton National Park. Our guide Steve Smith, photographed these beautiful bull elk, one with atypical antlers, on sunset safari this week. There are cases where an elk may only grow one antler instead of a complete pair. There are several reasons why this phenomenon occurs including
injury, hormonal imbalance, genetics, nutritional deficiencies and stress. This can be temporary, and the elk may grow a full pair of antlers the following year.

As summer progresses, this bull Elk's antlers will reach their full size and the velvet will dry and peel off. The elk will rub their antlers against trees, shrubs, or other objects to remove the remaining velvet. This helps to strengthen the antlers and prepare them for the upcoming mating season, known as the rut.

Bison are excellent swimmers despite their large size and bulky build. They will cross rivers and lakes, using their powerful legs and buoyant bodies to stay afloat. Swimming is a natural behavior for bison, and they often utilize it as a means of traversing water obstacles or reaching new grazing areas.

This baby moose rests while its mother forages on vegetation nearby. Moose mothers are fiercely protective of their calves and keep a close eye on them. They will defend their young against predators, so it's important to give them a wide berth and observe from a safe distance in the wild.
