This is Sheena. She was kept in a cage for 18 years of her life, a cage that was barely larger than the bear herself. Sheena was rescued by Greg, a friendly bear fanatic who has been in the business of saving bears for 32 years. Among his wilder views, he believes that Yellowstone should be closed down and given to the bears.
Grizzlies like Shenna here, are almost non-existent in the US (except Alaska) even in bear friendly Montana. In contrast to black bears (they are thriving - I saw two in Yellowstone), grizzlies adapt poorly to people.
The summer makes the bears lazy (just look at that coat) so they lounge around and don't do much - so sadly no action pictures. These bears eat anything and local grocery stores donate food and the bears eat it all - 70% of which is fruit and veggies.
These bears are 10 minutes east of Bozeman, Montana on I-90.
