"708 Amelia and her two 2.5 year old cubs, 907 and 908 these days, showed up at the falls not long after I made it to the platform the evening of July 6, 2017. It was my first trip to Brooks River.The family ate some scraps by the island and later tried to catch a salmon in the small pool near the falls platform. July 6, 2017.
Two days later, the family stole the show on the lower river. It was a joy to see 907 and 908 play-fighting away and even trying to engage their mom in play."

"Beautiful blondie 908 was hanging out in the Lower river on our day trip on July 5, 2019. She was having fun chasing and playing with her friend 821 Pepper. The lower water level that year allowed a lot of subs and families to hang out and play. It was a great area to watch the "younger bear" action! Neither of them seemed too bothered by the fishers and the people finally moved away a little bit (but a few of them got in trouble by the rangers):

Scooch captured these photographs (#1 , #2 , #3 , #4 & #5 ) 907 & 908 (p 02/06/2020 01:30 ). Scooch shared this information about the photographs.: "Siblings 907 (R) and 908, September 16, 2019 - The other morning I posted a photo of bear 908 standing near the island. Soon afterwards, she was joined by another bear that I believe is her brother, 907. They greeted each other with a brief session of bitey face before 907 moved on, looking for a fish, which he soon caught. These two 4.5 year old subadults are believed to be the lovely 708 Amelia's 2015 male and female offspring.". Mazey :noted the following about Scooch's 907 & 908 photographs that help in confidence with the ID of these two subadults.: "You can see the clipped off looking left ear on 907 in photo #5 and of course 908 has her bra on" (p 02/06/2020 05:18 ). Bookmom made these observations about Scooch's 907 & 908 photographs: "Also his more round forehead with a heavier brow and her flatter forehead. Not visible as much in the pics is her larger hump (than his). His body looks longer (similar to early 503 and maybe 856.??)" (p 02/06/2020 05:59 ). On 4/14/2020, scooch shared an additional 9/16/2019 photo of siblings 907 and 908. Note: 908 is the smaller of the 2 siblings in all these photos.

This is 908: a daughter of 708 Amelia. She has claimed "Backpack's Rock" for herself, and day after day, as these October days dwindle towards Winter's long nights, she demonstrates her winning style. In one week, she has ballooned out to a magnificent fullness. Way to go, sweetheart!"

2021.10.21: 811 makes a run at 908, 10/21/2021 video by mckate. "Then she put on a dominance display by rubbing her back on the tree, although she let 908 walk off while she played with a twig. 811 is generally kind of timid and more likely to be on the receiving end of any kind of aggression. I have no idea what this was all about! These bears keep us guessing." NOTE: 811 was not noted on the 2020 and 2021 KNP lists of Bears Monitored. The bear charging 908 may be 906 who was on the 2020 and 2021 lists of Bears Monitored. Awaiting clarification from Rangers.

2021.10.30: Was this 908 on the lower river in this 10/30/2021 video by mckate? If so, this was the last sighting of 908 in 2021. "After discussing this with Alisa, it's probably 908. But it seemed kind of small (although fat) and I was just getting a 273 girl vibe and hoping it was Derika. I'm putting her in the 'to be sorted later' pile."
