Yellowstone National Park biologists on Monday logged the first official grizzly bear sighting<\/a> of the spring season.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s exciting because it signals a mass awakening that\u2019ll occur over the next several weeks, with most bears out of their dens by early May.<\/p>\n

\"Can<\/p>\n

Can you spot the grizzly bear mom and cubs?<\/p>\n

Which reminds me of an encounter I enjoyed in May 2024, involving a momma grizzly bear and three newborn cubs. Can you spot this family on the distant landscape in the top image? (Answer below.)<\/p>\n

The bears had been feeding in Lamar Valley near the highway. They created a significant traffic jam before crossing and advancing toward the northern foothills.<\/p>\n

\"Grizzly<\/p>\n

The cubs were enjoying their first spring, curious and playful but always close to mom.<\/p>\n

The bears continued up the slope, becoming smaller and difficult to track.<\/p>\n

\"Same<\/p>\n

Same grizzly bears lower on the slope.<\/p>\n

I climbed a knoll to watch but they were too far for me to capture a detailed image at this point. But I\u2019ve included cropped versions of images from the same sighting.<\/p>\n

The bears eventually vanished and I returned to my vehicle and continued my journey through the valley, searching for more bears and other wildlife on the spring-green landscape.<\/p>\n

\"Momma<\/p>\n

The bears in the top image are circled in the fourth image. I can\u2019t help but wonder if they’re all still alive.<\/p>\n
