Grizzette

Where can you find her at the sanctuary? She often is seen hanging in the front woods of the sanctuary, which is a common place for mothers with cubs to be seen. She has two favorite ‘food sites’ that she often lounges on with her cubs. Both can be seen from the viewing platform so be sure to ask staff to point her out when you visit!
