At Reid Park Zoo
Two grizzly bears, male “Ronan” and female “Finley,” arrived in Tucson in July of 2013 from the Flathead Indian Reservation in Montana. The orphaned 18-month-old bears had been engaging in problem behaviors in a residential area, including breaking into chicken coops and livestock feed storage areas.
The bears had already been relocated once, so this time they were given a new, safe home at Reid Park Zoo. The relocation was a collaborative effort between Reid Park Zoo, The US Fish and Wildlife Service, Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Parks, and the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes

In the early 1800s, an estimated 50,000 grizzly bears roamed across the western United States from the Great Plains to the Pacific coast. Today, their populations in the lower 48 states are limited to the Northern Cascades (Washington), Northern Rockies, and Greater Yellowstone Ecosystems.
