Now one is a movie star, and all are living in comfort and security at Montana Grizzly Encounter.
Our homeschool group took a field trip to learn about grizzly bears and how to avoid them in the wild. We learned how to tell the difference between a grizzly and a black bear, why these bears don’t hibernate, and what to do if you forget the rules to avoiding bears and run into one.
You don’t need a field trip to check out Montana Grizzly Encounter.
