Grizzly bear 399 swimming across a river with her 4 cubs on first day out of hibernation in 2022.

I was lucky enough to see Grizzly bear 399 and her four healthy cubs that emerged from hibernation on this day of 4/16/22. Here they are hours after emerging from hibernation swimming across a river.

Grizzly Bear #399 is such a great mother and she's teaching her beautiful cubs valuable skills. The snowy scenery is just stunning. Grizzly Family living their Best Lives.

Such an incredible experience for you to get to see this iconic bear with her 4 cubs before she kicks them out and you got amazing footage for the world to see 🙏 So blessed.

So happy you got to see them and share them with us. Thank you so much. I spent five days in the Tetons last fall looking for them.

What a great mom! I can't imagine how hard it was for her raising 4 lil scallywags. They all look extremely healthy. Thanks for the video!

[@elizabethpodesta9554]

[@giantfactory]

What an amazing sight to behold! Ain’t nobody messing with mom when she’s got a posse like that.

[@voraciousreader3341]

Imagine it....a mother bear who kept 4 CUBS alive for 2 whole years, with all of the risks and threats in nature.....amazing!!

[@ballofwax9yards]

Tough bears, water chilly.

[@kimberlysweat6890]

Why are they coming out of hibernation when its still snowing, I thought thats when they hibernate because lack of food. I hope all the baby's have long healthy lives mom did a good job

[@salsanchez2114]

WILL 399 & CUBS B COLLARED 2 B TRACKED IN 2022

[@midliferices]

2 of the male cubs are collared.

[@bulow453]

Wonder what was on that side that wasn't on this side that she needed to cross the river when it was snowing and freezing?

[@DarhaLB]

Her destination

[@jpascaln]

My thought as well. I wonder the need to cross that very cold river.

[@saraanderson6615]

Beautiful bears but I would not want to tangle with a Momma Bear.

[@lllSTRIK3Rlll]

I wish i could buy them all a chicken each for their hard work. Love u bears

[@marshamariner7897]

I hope they r 🚫🚫 found ....they need to stay alive 🌹💖🦋

[@alvaroq2024]

I wonder what would happen if two of her cubs suddenly were struggling in the water? Mama bear couldn’t possibly save them, could she? If so, how?

[@EVZYL]

... and then came man.
