YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK – The first grizzly bear sighting of 2019 has been reported in Yellowstone National Park.
Visitors saw a large grizzly bear between Canyon Village and Fishing Bridge on March 8, according to a press release.
Additionally, grizzly tracks were reported between Mammoth Hot Springs and Norris Junction on March 11.
The first grizzly sighting in 2018 occurred on March 7.
Yellowstone officials said male grizzlies come out of hibernation in mid-to-late March while females with cubs emerge in April and early May.
When bears emerge from hibernation, they look for food and often feed on elk and bison that died over the winter.
The press release states sometimes bears will react aggressively while feeding on carcasses.
