A Grand Awakening: Guess who’s stirring from their cozy slumber in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem? You got it—bears are making their grand entrance as they emerge from their winter digs.

Stage by Stage: The bear parade begins with the dapper adult males, strutting their stuff as the first to step onto the spring scene. Following close behind are the supermoms, guiding last year’s cubs and brand-new bundles of joy into the wild world. They’re like the VIP guests at the grandest wildlife party!

The Hungry Hunt: Picture this: all these bears are busting out of their dens with a serious case of the munchies! They’re on the prowl, hunting for their favorite delicacies. Winter kills (hello elk, moose, and bison) are on the menu, followed by the elegant roots, flowers, and grasses.

Winter Slumber Secrets: Hold onto your hats, because here comes a mind-blowing fact: once bears tuck themselves into their cozy winter dens for a good nap in December, they’re in it for the long haul. No eating, no bathroom breaks—just peaceful slumber until the next spring arrives!
