Montana Grizzly Encounter






There is this Montana Grizzly Encounter thing right off the freeway not far from Bozeman. We have all drove by it tons of times, but nobody I know had actually been inside. So Mom, Andrea, Cash and I went to check it out today. It's home to 5 grizzly bears that have been rescued from various situations. They have 2 cubs there that are 3 years old (they are the ones in the pictures) and also 2 adult females and 1 male Brutus that is apparently their claim to fame. He has been in many Discovery channel documentarys they said. They rotate the cubs and the adults out at different times during the day. We were there earlier in the day so the cubs were the ones out. We lunched in Livingston and walked around in the downtown they have then headed back to see the adult griz. There was road construction near the "encounter" so the adults had yet to be released. We did manage to convince Doris who was working the front gates (manually I may add...) to give us a rain check of sorts to allow us back in to see the famous Brutus. I will post those pictures when we go back. It was fun being tourists for the day!
