The world's most famous grizzly sow, at the ripe old age (for a wild bear) of 24 surprised everyone by emerging from her den with her first set of four (4!) rolly-polly cubs in the spring of 2020 (yes, some good things did happened in 2020!)
Back in June, when the babies were still so small they pretty much disappeared in the sage when on all fours, it was really hard to get them all in one shot.

November 2020 update: all four cubs, who are little tubs of lard after a summer and fall of chowing down, are alive and well. Folks who have seem them report that 399 herself looks a little thin, you can easily imagine why. Opinions differ on whether she's fat enough to get through the winter alright. Spring 2021 will tell, all fingers and toes crossed!
