Subadult Male
Year First Observed: 2022 as an independent 2.5 year-old subadult
Year Last Observed: 2022 (Bear Monitor) (2023 Cam Viewers?)
Known Offspring Of: 383 is the suspected offspring of 284 "Electra." There is no way to really confirm the link between subadults to the mother and siblings without DNA results. Note: There is speculation that the NPS photos of 383 are of an older bear based on size. 383 as a 2.5 year old would be smaller.

Fall 2022:[]
383 does not appear on the 2022 Official Bears Monitored List for the Fall of the 2022 season. 383 was only officially observed in the Summer of 2022.
2023: 3.5 Year-Old Independent Subadult[]
Cam viewers believe they may have observed 383 during the Fall of 2023; see the videos below. 383 was only officially observed by the KNP&P bear monitor in the Summer of the 2022 season, so being observed in Fall of the 2023 season would indicate a change in 383's prior season independent subadult behavior.
383 was not observed during 2023 Official Bear Monitoring Sessions conducted by KNP&P Bear Monitor, Ranger Tammy Carmack.

2023.10.15: Was 383 observed on 10/15/2023?
2023.10.16: 383(?) arrives? video by mckate. Some chatters actually caught him yesterday and believe that he might be 284's boy who was emancipated early last season. We never caught him on the cams, but he did get the number 383. If you compare this fellow to the fall photos and videos of 284's boy from 2021, it's a pretty good match. :
