Beloved Grizzly No. 399 Honored in Wyoming Vigil

The celebrated bear, credited with boosting the grizzly population, was killed in a vehicle accident last month.

Grizzly No. 399, a 28-year-old bear known for her significant contribution to the grizzly population, was fatally struck by a vehicle on October 22.
A vigil attended by locals and viewed online by many was held in Jackson, Wyoming, to honor her memory.
The bear, dubbed 'Queen of the Tetons,' had 18 cubs over her lifetime and was a symbol of conservation efforts.
Her ashes were spread in the Pilgrim Creek area of Grand Teton National Park, a place she frequented.
Grizzlies remain federally protected, but climate change and habitat issues continue to pose challenges for their survival.
