Subadult Female
Year First Observed: 2022 as an independent 2.5 year-old subadult
Year Last Observed: 2024
Known Offspring Of: 354 is speculated to be the darker 2020 female offspring of 854 Divot. There is no way to really confirm the link between subadults to their mother and siblings without DNA results. Please note: Male 353 is speculated to be 354's 2020 littermate, 854 Divot's lighter 2020 offspring.
Known Litters of Cubs: Time will tell...female brown bears usually have their 1st litter at age 4.5 or older.

2022: Newly Emancipated 2.5 Year-Old Independent Female Subadult:[]
As a newly emancipated 2.5 year-old independent subadult in 2022, 354 was speculated to be the darker offspring of 854 Divot's 2020 litter of 2 spring cubs. 353 (lighter, male) was speculated to be 354s littermate from that 2020 854 litter. The identification numbers are typically assigned by the KNP&P bear monitor later in the season or after the end of the season. Due to this necessary delay in assigning bear identification numbers to newly identified bears, you may see 354 identified in videos, gifs, photographs, and snapshots as 854F or 854F darker in videos and such prior to her official bear identification number being available to bearcam viewers and/or wiki contributors.

I've been on the watch for Red, so have to temper my desire to see him everywhere. JG pointed out that some of the 435's girl sightings might actually be 854's boy because they do have a very similar look. Two clues that this was 854's boy was that he was with his sis and was also bouncing up in down in the hope of some scraps which is one of his habits."

LunaCre also created this gif of 354 (right) and another bear that was at the time believed to be 205 (but the other bear could be 208 and NOT 205). After official NPS photos of the newer 200 series bears were released to cam viewers, it was determined that 208 was mis-identified as 205 for most of the 2022 season. Therefore, the ID of the other bear seen in this gif by LunaCre may not be 205 and may actually be 208. (p 08/15/22 05:03):
