Pinned face down in the snow by a cougar, seven-year-old David Metzler Jr. was already bleeding from wounds to his scalp and back when his mother came running from the church, armed with nothing but a scrub rag.

Everyday, a family somewhere grieves because you didn't come home. Everyday, a veteran faces challenges because he didn't return the person that he was when he went away for his country. Everyday, we often forget that every freedom we have is because of you, and everyday, we should thank you, over and over again. But Today is the Day that you are Celebrated, Honored, and our hearts are filled with Gratitude! ... See MoreSee Less

🏆✨🐻🚜❣ You can’t have a rainbow without a little rain🐄https://bawornnon.vercel.app/

Wise words from Cougar Fund Co-founder Thomas Mangelsen. All wildlife needs our respect and care in order to survive.I was down at the Jackson gallery signing copies of the new book Grizzly 399: The World’s Most Famous Bear on Monday, October 9, 2023, when I heard the shocking news that one of 399’s adult cubs had been struck by a hit-and-run motorist in a northern part of Jackson Hole. Driving to the scene, I caught sight of 610—the last surviving adult offspring of 399’s original triplets—along US Highway 26 and she appeared to be seriously injured.

610 momentarily got up and moved with her three yearling cubs but after a while she returned to the side of the road, laid down on her side, and not moving for a long stretch of time, many of us believed she might be dead—yet another grizzly bear tragedy. Fortunately, she did not perish and today is back on four legs but we still don’t know the full extent of any internal injuries she might have sustained. All of us, who have followed the lives of 399, 610, Blondie, and other Jackson Hole grizzlies are concerned about her wellbeing and this incident is a traumatic reminder that the survival of these great animals often comes down to humans behaving responsibly.

It’s difficult to contain my personal anger directed at the driver of the vehicle who hit 610 and left the scene after she was badly injured and in the company of her young, vulnerable cubs. As I examined the skid marks left behind on the pavement by a human obviously driving way too fast on a highway known for its wildlife presence, one can only conclude how callous and thoughtless that person was. But US Highway 26 is notorious for motorists who speed and cause an awful lot of roadkill.

Besides giving you an update on 610 and her cubs, I want to remind all of you that together we are in the trenches of meaningful wildlife conservation. Each of us is an important ambassador for educating others and trying to give voice to such amazing beings. Wherever you live and are passing through wildlands, always slow down, honor the speed limit, and be aware and attentive when you’re behind the wheel.

In the case of Greater Yellowstone grizzlies, their future really does depend on us behaving responsibly. It is our hope that 610 and her cubs will be alright. We owe her, her mother 399, and other grizzlies our gratitude for giving us so much joy and inspiration. The least we can do is strive to give them safe places to roam. ... See MoreSee Less

See what we are up against when collecting our WILD LIVES footage? Haha, 'Mohawk Bear' must be part of the Hollywood strike and doesn't want to be seen on screen just yet! At least he puts it back... ... See MoreSee Less

They are always the culprits 😂 Nice of mohawk bear to put it back, ours don't.

We wouldn't cross a bridge in danger of collapse or go into a building that wasn't stable, so why do we accept the removal of keystone species for human gratification and a landscape without all the parts that keep the system functioning?

Beautifully stated.

Right!

Needed to control the whitetail population in Indiana.

Nothing like a little face to face in the fog at night, after your ride forgot to pick you up, (the one time I left my hiking bells at home). Unless it is waking to fresh snow and big cat tracks right up to where your head had been laying while you slept. Here Yowler! Here boy! 🤣

Hunting wild animals should be outlawed and replaced with outdoor photography

Humans worst parasites

So beautiful.. Love them all.

Humans are inhumane. Ironic.
