Grouse Grizzly Bears

After a hike up the BCMC, we wandered over to the Grizzly Bears on the chance they would be out enjoying the summer day as we were.

Grouse Mountain renovated their pen over the winter into a figure eight type area, where tourists and people can walk over a bridge and feel like you’re in the same cage as them.

Grinder was orphaned June 2001 in Invermere BC. He was wandering alone on a logging road, dehydrated, thin, weak, and weighing only 4.5kg.

Coola was found orphaned at the side of the highway on June 29, 2001 near Bella Coola, BC. His mother has been hit and killed by a truck. Of her three cubs, Coola was the only one to survive. One cub was hit by a falling tree and the other ran and was not seen again.
