I wrote a lot of tiny essays for #fatbearweek but the one most special for me was about 435 Holly and 503. I am tender to their story, which is about loss and grief and adoption and motherhood.

Ty for letting me tell it here in its own thread:
Not only is 435 Holly one of the oldest bears at Katmai and a former Fat Bear Champion (2019), she is one of the most prolific and experienced mothers at Brooks River. She has given birth to five litters now, and seven bears call her Mom.
In 2009, however, she had a one cub litter and that cub was killed in front of her by an adult male bear.
