Many of us photograph in Yellowstone and GTNPs so I thought this might be of interest. I just happened to come upon another article on the GTNP bear attack in May, the bear was most likely 399 but that was never confirmed to my knowledge. The article does state it was a bear with one older cub. I saw 399 in June with her older cub and got some nice close shots. The cub was pretty nervous about the crowd. There is apparently a special airing on August 25, see info below:
“Close Encounters: Tourists in the Wild” on The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper takes us to Yellowstone National Park, where visitors behaving badly can lead to dangerous encounters with bears, bison and more. It premieres Sunday, August 25, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CNN.
