Grizzly 399 is probably the best known bear in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem but in 2008 there was another grizzly sow that was undoubtedly the most well known bear. That year I photographed her and one of her cubs in May. This cub would also became extremely well known as well as she continues to raise cubs near the road. Female bears often use the roads and developed areas because it keeps their young away from the male bears. But this choice doesn’t come without risks as well.
