Sam. Project WILD "Wild about Bears" conservation education workshop at Harriman State Park in Island Park, Idaho and at the Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center in West Yellowstone, Montana on August 5-7, 2019.
The workshop was led by Lori Adams, Project WILD Coordinator for Idaho Fish and Game. Participants learned about the bears of Idaho. In addition to classroom sessions including presentations from biologists, participants were exposed to a variety of bear-related activities and demonstrations including hound tracking.
Sam was placed in captivity as a young cub after his mother disappeared in Alaska. He wandered in to a fishing village where people (young and old) began hand-feeding him, becoming quite the attraction and a dangerous situation. Without a mother to care for him and becoming habituated to human food, he had to be placed in captivity and arrived at the Center in 1996. Being from the coastline of Alaska, he is very large – weighing approximately 1050 pounds
