39 & 2 Spring Cubs Since 856, 39, and Spring Cub Altercation:[]
August 2, 2022: Ranger Chris & Mike Fitz answered a bearcam commenter's question about 39 and her spring cubs:
Razorback's Question: "Anybody seen #39 and cubs lately -- after the fight with 856 a few weeks ago ? Just wondering if all 3 (mom & cubs) are safe ?"
Mike Fitz' 13:03 Reply: "To the best of my knowledge, there have been no confirmed sightings of 39 and cubs since the family tangled with 856."
Ranger Chris' 13:05 Reply: "To date, there are still no confirmed sights of 39 and/or her cubs since the incident."
July 29, 2022: Ranger Lian asked Mazey to pass on any questions about the bears that she would forward to Ranger Tammy. Mazey collected a number of them having to do with identification. Mazey received a reply today, July 29, 2022. Here are the questions and answers from Ranger Tammy.
Mazey's July 29, 2022 17:52 comment re: information from Ranger Tammy Carmack re: photographs taken by NWBearLove92 of 39 w/2spring cubs July 8, 2022 and possible 39 w/o cubs July 15, 2022
Question: Cam viewer NWBearLove92 recently shared photos of a sow believed to be 39 without cubs on 7/15. The post also includes photos of 39 with her cubs on 7/8 for comparison. Does the 7/15 sow appear to be 39?
Links to NWBearLove92's photographs: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5 & #6
Please request NWBearLove92's permission prior to using her photographs!
NWBearLove92's July 23, 2022 09:13 comment with July 8, 2022 photographs of 39 w/2 spring cubs and possible 39 w/o cubs July 15, 2022
Ranger Tammy Carmack's Reply: I can’t tell from this photo, but I can say that I thought I saw her without cubs more than once.
Please also see the following prior updates on 39 and her 2 spring cubs since the 856 altercation:
July 9, 2022, July 10, 2022, July 11, 2022, July 12, 2022, and July 13, 2022. We will probably never be able to confirm if the deceased spring cub that was discovered on July 20, 2022 was one of 39's spring cubs.

It doesn't get much better than playing with both your mom and an older friend. That's the most relaxed mckate has observed 909 in a long time. It must be nice to have a babysitter!
mckate suspects Holly's girl, "435Jr"/"Jolly" felt comfortable approaching 909's yearling, because her mom let both yearlings and subs approach her when she was a cub. This seems like something fairly new to Brooks bear culture, but it would be interesting to hear from Mike Fitz and some rangers on whether or not they've seen it prior to 2020 (aside from 435 Holly letting an adult 151 Walker play with 503). 909's yearling alternates play between her mom, 909, and "435Jr"/"Jolly" in this video by mckate:
