Grizzly bear COYs follow their mother (grizzly 610) through sagebrush near the Potholes area soon after they came out of their den.

610 calls to her cubs to come down out of the tree where she left them to stay safe while she went to look for food south of the potholes.

Brownie, Ash and sibling graze on grasses and biscuit root north of Colter Bay.

With nose pointed high, fifteen year old Grizzly 399 sniffs the gentle breeze as she pauses in a meadow; taking their mother’s lead, the three cubs mimic her, learning the ancient ways of the grizzly.
