Subadult Male
Year First Observed: 2022 as an independent 3.5 year-old subadult
Year Last Observed: 2024
Known Offspring Of: 307 is the suspected offspring of 708 Amelia. There is no way to really confirm the link between subadults to the mother and siblings without DNA results.
Genetics Study Samples Obtained: Unknown
Identification:[]
Mckate's ID Tips: 307 has a small somewhat upturned muzzle and triangular ears that sit high on his head. His coat is fairly solid brown all season long with the exception of a red hat in late July through early August. He has often been described as a mini-Walker which is not out of the question since 151 mated with 708 in 2018.

Distinctive Behaviors:[]
Mckate's Notes: 307 usually brought up the rear when moving with his family group. While it's a cub's job to keep up with their mother, a patient 708 would wait and sometimes go back and check on her dawdling boy. In late July 2021 he appeared to exhibit neurological problems, and there was a concern that he'd picked up the canine adenovirus type-I (CAV-1) which is endemic at Brooks. During this time he also became separated from his mother and sister, but a week later they were seen together, and he appeared to have fully recovered.

The moment ended with her cubs trying to get on to the bridge. Sorry guys, no deal."

Later in the day on July 28, 2021, the family group was observed on the Brooks Falls High View cam. The darker cub appeared to be having difficulty walking, appeared to possibly have delayed reflexes/responses, and appeared to also be disoriented. The cub eventually made it's way to the bank of Brooks River below the wildlife viewing platform. The cub bawled several times for mom and sibling from the shore of the river, which could be seen and heard from the live cam feed. The cub eventually wandered away along the path heading upriver. The cam op attempted to locate the cub a few times, but was not successful in locating the cub. 708 Amelia and the blonder cub continued fishing for a period of time and then eventually went the same direction that the darker cub wandered away to earlier. Itzy Holly-LO captured video.It should be noted that just prior to the start of this video the cub fell to the right a few times as it walked through the shallow water at the river's edge.

Ranger Naomi Boak stopped in chat the evening of 7/30/2021 and shared a photo of a small dark bear that could possibly be 708 Amelia's missing 2.5 year old cub. "Evening Folks. We were on our way to clean the underwater cam and spied what I think is 708's missing dark cub. He/she was on the beach with 2 subadults. It was making a kind of "where is mommy sound." I called Ranger Julie, a bear tech, and she had noticed the same thing. It wanted to hang out with the subs, which is good. It's walking is a little labored but it kind of trotted to try and keep up with the subs. Here's hoping it does well. Because 708 kept her cubs an extra year, if it is not very sick, there is a good chance it can live on its own. It is old enough. We are all keeping our eye out for this one."
