DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhat difference can one bear make? Not Like Other Bears follows one real-life grizzly bear named "399" throughout her life. Because the main highway that connects Grand Teton with Yellowstone cuts through her home range, 399 possesses a tolerance for crowds that other grizzlies do not have. This makes sightings unusually reliable for the park's annual five million visitors--so much so, that she is the most photographed bear in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Due to her location and longevity, 399 has been a household name in Wyoming for more than two decades. At least twenty-two bears are descended from her, including the four cubs she birthed in 2020 at the mature age of twenty-four. Not Like Other Bears allows children to gain insight into 399's incredible tale, providing a rare glimpse into the extraordinary world and significant impact of one grizzly bear and her cubs through a heartwarming journey that will delight and captivate readers of all ages.
