😢 thank you thats so beautiful .

The bear is the most powerful Spiritual Animal. The Queen of the Tetons Mama Bear can also be a mother to those who feel lonely and need strength in our daily struggles. She gives not only motherly security and love, but also the strength to fight. The bear has a powerful Energy (even felt through computer screens). I encourage you to study the Native American beliefs about the bear. This is almost secret knowledge. The Bear will speak differently to each of us and help us in a special way. Bear is a powerful mystical being who deserves Great Respect. The bear is the King of the animals, not the lion. Dark forces are doing everything they can to diminish his power on Earth.

This is amazing

Such a beautiful tribute what happened to this mom, j\how old was she, such a beautiful healthy mom!

She had such elegant confidence. Amazing bear and mother. RIP

I sat and sobbed all day, this is a tragedy beyond measure.The epitome of majestic grace and beauty. How could you not see her? Heartbroken does not cover the feeling. First King Otis, now beautiful 399...we have now become less

Tears here!😢 So sad!

A beautiful tribute. Brings tears to my eyes

Beautiful tribute. Deeply saddened. May she rest in peace and long live her offspring.

This kind of tragedy to the beloved creature bear 399 death by accident won’t be the last one, It is because of human selfish acts in nature. Bear 399 like others would have been killed by brutal hunting, accidents or euthanizing anyway. Bear 610 will have similar destiny. Montana, Idaho and Wyoming have been pursuing delisting of grizzly bears from endangered species so they can massacre them. They intentionally left the wildlife unprotected in the roads, so they get killed. Crowds should not travel there. Wildlife has no right to live a natural life if humans don’t want so by occupying their space. Human will pay the price for destroying the habitat of species, destruction of echo system and killing of wildlife. As a result of that we were facing a pandemic situation with corona virus family raging and now we are dealing with global warming catastrophe which will get worst with the destructions of environment by mankind. It will be a matter of time life on planet earth will be threatened in the near future. Consequently, severe hurricanes, flash floods, drought, melting of glaciers and ice bergs, unpredictable extreme weather pattern, wildfires, shortage of food, water, conflicts and wars, we all be facing them.

Thank you for putting this together. I wasn’t able to see the Queen when I was in Jackson but was able to see 610 and cubs. So glad I purchased your print of 399 and Spirit last year. I display that proudly in my living room. Thanks for all you do Evan. Sharing all those great pictures and videos of the Queen. She will be missed but never forgotten.

As usual, the bear's death caused by a human. The bear has no enemies other than human. Somehow I don't think it was a spontaneous accident ... when I see what's going on around ... Rest in peace our beloved Mother Bear Queen of the Tetons. You always live on in our hearts. May your soul always be filled with the Light. She helped me get through difficulties some time ago with her extraordinary Energy. I hope Spirit is safe. Angels help him.

Just so incredibly humbling thank you

So sad, how did she pass

Magnificent. I'm crying. RIP you, beautiful creature.

Another historic mother bear lost too soon. So sad. Rest in peace 399 from GT and 402 from Katmai. Your legacies live on.

Oh no what happened 😢

Was out in Tetons last month but did not see her rip

Magnificent. I mourn the loss, more than any can imagine.

OMG I was so happy to see your video pop up and i went woww lets see how Grizzly 399 is doing now - and then bang the tears began to fall as I watched she has gone forever. Thank you so very much for sharing her with us all she truly was a delight to see. Do you know was it old age that took her in the end ???

Thank you Evan for this beautiful tribute to 399. What an amazing bear. Through her I have learned so much about grizzly bears. We almost saw 399 & Spirit when we visited GTNP June 2023. So sad she died before Spirit was released by her. God had other plans for their journey. Prayers that Spirit made it back to GTNP and will survive and thrive. I am still emotional that he is without his one only companion his mama 399.❤️😢

They should close the parks down when everything is getting ready for hibernation

💔🙏💞

So sad her passing She was magnificent bear

A heart warming tribute to a beautiful majestic creature of God loved beyond measure admired and respected a life well lived an untimely death she did not deserve carry on spirit momma taught you well many are praying for you and now you have an angel on your shoulder

This made me cry, beautiful tribute to a beautiful bear. She should have lived alot longer. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

Loved this video. I never got the chance to see this amazing bear, but I've watched a lot of videos of her. This video is a tear jerker. RIP 399, you touched so many people's lives.

After recently learning about her, I had planned on heading out west this spring/summer to see her before its too late...Sad to hear the news.

Thank you so much for this beautiful tribute to an incredible Grizzly Mom and to all the joy she provided to so many. May god watch over little Spirit❤

Well done, as usual with your content. My wife and I enjoyed meeting you at Canyon Village a few weeks ago, when we most awkwardly introduced ourselves as we passed by. We didnt see 399 on this trip, but have before and like everyone else were shocked and saddened by this news, yet you’ve done her justice with this tribute.

Good one less bear to worry about. Never asked for them in the first place.

Thank you Evan for this beautiful tribute! Shared as widely as I can.

What happened to Queen? I have not seen your videos for a while and was wondering why. I looked forward to seeing them with Queen and cubs. You did a great job bringing these beautiful animals to our attention so thank you very much.

I'm so devastated by her passing. She was and will always be an amazing mama bear. It amazes me how much 399 has touched so many of us around the world. Bear 399 shows us the true meaning of love and unity. RIP, Magnificent Queen 399.❤

Bittersweet - tears for her loss and joy for the life she lived.

Wonderful tribute to this bear. I had never seen her or been to Yellowstone but through your and other efforts I came to care about her. I love photographing wildlife, but I do struggle at times with the harshness of their life. Considering the life they have to lead to survive, it is amazing she survived as long as she did, I just wish she had lived longer. Thank you for sharing your story with her.

We Love You...Mother Bear!!! Where is your Last, Precious Baby Spirit...??? Must let her Remains...go back into her Wilderness Home!!!

So sad , but she has become a forever part of the park. R.I.P. big girl😪🐻

❤

Lets all pray that her last cub Spirit can carry on her mother's legacy and survive and thrive.

Yes was sad Peace out

Absolutely beautiful job in memorializing her. I know this could not have been easy to produce. The circle of life was very plentiful for her. It is beautiful and so touching to watch. Thank you!

Beautiful

Beautiful tribute to a beautiful and majestic animal. Well done. 😢❤

Thank you Evan for such a wonderful tribute to the most incredible Bear that ever lived. She will never be forgotten and her life will forever be here in spirit with her huge family. I hope Spirit will be able to survive on his own or it would be an even greater loss. Thanks again and I know this will be appreciated by a lot of people and I hope her loss will get people to slow down and protect our wildlife!!

What an amazing Tribute. I watched you and Jeremy Neipp the last time you were out looking for her. She will be missed. Glad you got the chance to immortalize her and her cubs.

Goodbye, Mama. So sorry.

Great tribute, such great memories captured. Well done.
