13 bears counted in grizzly gathering on Front https://t.co/Khn4oeQVx2 #mtnews — Great Falls Tribune (@GFTribune) November 1, 2016Rare gathering snappedA Montana wildlife official spotted 13 grizzly bears together on a private ranch in the foothills of the Rocky Mountain Front southwest of Dupuyer. Madel was tracking radio-collared grizzly bears when he spotted and photographed the group. US Fish and Wildlife Services grizzly bear biologist Wayne Kasworm says he's never seen that many bears in one location in Montana. He echoed Madel's theory that the bears could have some relationship, possibly mothers and daughters and even grandmothers. It is the first time scientists have carried out a continent-wide assessment of the impact of elephant poaching on tourism.
