He tends to shed much of the fur around his shoulders and neck in early summer, giving him a two-toned appearance.Bear 435, Holly, won in 2019. She adopted and raised a cub alongside her own in 2007.
“Due to the geology of the space, the short 6-foot fall, there are several opportune spaces for the bears to fish. So there’s a location called the Office, which is on the lower section of the falls where some of the salmon congregate. It’s shallower there,” she said.
