2024: Adult Female with Yearling[]
506 and her yearling were officially observed and classified in July 2024 by KNP&P Bear Monitor, Ranger Tammy Carmack. Bearcam viewers observed a sow and yearling that they believe may be the sow and cub that were assigned bear monitoring number 506 during the 2024 season. The following videos and gifs are of the sow & yearling cam viewers observed on July 22, 2024 through July 24, 2024. We are awaiting additional information from KNP&P to confirm that the sow and yearling cam viewers observed are the same family group that Ranger Tammy Carmack monitored as bear 506 and her yearling.
