A large male grizzly (Ursus arctos) left this footprint along the banks of Trout Creek in Yellowstone National Park on June 4, 1997.
Of all the Yellowstone grizzly tracks I have studied, the size of this footprint measures in the top 15%. The bear probably weighed over 450 lbs. The average adult (5 or more years old) male grizzly weighs 425 lbs.
Cast by Jim Halfpenny.
Cast measures 11 3/4" long and 8" wide
Cougar, puma, mountain lion, panther, catamount are all names for the same North American cat (Felis concolor).
A large male left this footprint at Pine Butte Nature Preserve, Montana in August of 1996. The footprint was made by the front foot in soft mud. Male tracks are normally wide but the soft mud caused the toes to spread even further. This animal weighed about 145 lbs.
Cast measures 5 3/4" long and 5 3/4" wide

A large male gray wolf (Canis lupus ) left this footprint at Beaver Lake in Yellowstone National Park on July 17, 2003. The wolf was probably from Swan Lake Pack. The footprint was made by the front foot in soft mud. While male tracks are normally wide, the speed of the galloping wolf and the weight in the shoulders and head caused the toes to spread even further.
This animal weighed about 130 lbs.
Cast measures 7 3/4" long and 7 1/4" wide

White black bears (Ursus americanus) are found in the rain forests of Canada. While called Kermode, for Francis Kermode, who revealed their presence to the Western world, Native Americans know them as Spirit Bears whom they consider special. White or pale tan is their normal color. A white and black bear cub maybe born in the same litter
Near Terrace, British Columbia on September 21, 1991, while observing a male spirit bear I found this track. It was made by a medium-sized bear fishing in the Skeena River. While I cannot prove it, I like to think that my spirit bear made the footprints. The track was made in a fine silly sand that recorded excellent detail.
Cast by Jim Halfpenny. The original Footprint is archived at the track Education Center Museum in Gardiner Montana.
Cast measures 11 3/4" long and 8" wide
