Another look from the guide. Coats darken and bodies fill out as the season goes on, so the same bear can look like two.
LIFE HISTORY

#130 was classified as a 2.5 year-old subadult female in 2009. She fishes the cut bank and lower Brooks River, but like many subadults she has a low success rate.

This young bear shows signs of habituation towards people, especially around Brooks Camp, but she usually avoids other bears and people when surprised.

She is the offspring of #409. While #130 was still being raised by her mother, she received a bloody wound above her left eye that resulted in her recognizable scar.
