We saw #399 from a safe distance in our truck. Other people were crazy, trying to get closer until a ranger came.
So, sorry she lost her live in this matter.

I agree. The pictures I see of bumper to bumper traffic & stupid human interactions with wildlife make me never want to go there.

Yes, a ‘beautifully illustrated story book about #399 and her life’ sounds like a good idea.

The passages of under road crossings are necessary for the wildlife. Stop torture of the wild animals, trophy and canned hunting and stop removing our wild horses with outsourcing and a sad excuse for caring with the bureau of land management

Storybook writers, please note this suggestion

I would have loved to have seen her and cubs. Im going across the country soon and hope to get a tshirt, book on her life etc. I love animals deep in my soul. Im truly sorry she is gone🙏🌈🤍🐻💔
What if anything, will be done to driver that hit her?
We must continue to protect bears and all animals before they are all gone.

The bear and her cub were in the middle of the road eating on a elk carcass at 11 pm night. Totalled out the car. Wasn’t speeding.

Those people also played a part in this tragic death, not just the driver of 1 automobile.

outcompete all other animals . Give us enough time and you will need to visit a zoo,
museum, or aquarium to see a wild animal.
