No way....
shit. rip, cool mama
this one hurts. A legend of a mom and was able to balance the delicate balance of being a bear but also being in an urban area. Her PBS special I saw recently was great. So sad to see her go this way.
Outsourcing your employee housing has it's costs. Sucks.Quote:

Good one.
Yeah, this really sucks. I always kind of worried about her when she took to being near roads and out in the public to keep the males away.
It sucks but people should know that was not a normal bear. She was Jackson's pet bear. Her behavior, territory, enormous litters and longevity were mostly due to the fact that people fed her. Which, of course, led to a need to constantly monitor and protect her. And that could only succeed for so long. It's surprising she lasted as long as she did.Quote:

She injured someone who disturbed her on a dead elk. Grizzlies are rarely euthanized if the victim surprises the animal on a natural carcass. That's normal behavior, even if it happens right next to a lodge.Quote:

So…never meet your heroes? :rolleyes2
Just sayin', nothing but dumb luck this didn't happen years ago. But it didn't so maybe people came away with the wrong lessons with what will eventually happen when you feed the bears. Dont forget, several of her cubs from later litters got killed because they learned to hang around roads and eat trash.
I used to live up in the woods and I saw my share of bears checking out the cabin and tossing my garbage can around. At night! Bear 399 and her cubs were so habituated to human food sources that they were feeding off of porches in broad daylight.
A "food habituated animal kept around to amuse humans"?Quote:

RIP mama bear, let the legacy live on.
Man.
I got so much to say about 399. Big sadness over here.

If that balcony and chair are both truly supported by that cantilever, well, it's a bit suspect.
Cool workup for the chair although it doesn't appear to swing.
