Bear 164 first captured when courtingBear 164 is believed to be about seven years old. His known home range includes Peter Lougheed and Spray Valley provincial parks and parts of the Stoney First Nation. "We first captured him as we were trying to recapture a female grizzly bear and he was kind of courting her for several days. We have a lot of bears that have are born and lived their whole natural lives into their 20s in Kananaskis Country, bred and contributed to the Alberta grizzly bear population," he said. "And I think it's one of the success stories of grizzly bear recovery in Alberta."
