Grizzly 399

Grizzly 399 lumbers through sagebrush in May 2022 in Grand Teton National Park. After sighting the first grizzly of the season in the park, officials said they have “no reason to believe” 399 won’t emerge from her den this year.

As bears begin to show up in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, Grand Teton National Park is expecting Grizzly 399, the famous, 27-year-old ursine matriarch, to once again emerge from her den this spring.

“We have no reason to believe that she won’t,” said Justin Schwabedissen, Grand Teton’s bear management specialist.
