A huge grizzly bear is recorded on camera that sniffs through the snow near a tourist hotspot in Montana – which marks the first Observation of the Year while the predators come from hibernation.
The creepy images, recorded on Thursday evening near the city of West Yellowstone, show the top predator through a snowstorm and slowly moves when it approaches the camera on the ground.
The National Park Service confirmed on Wednesday that new Grizzly tracks were found in the northern part of the park -officially the start of the Grizzly -view season of 2025.
Professional nature photographer Trent Sizemore, who placed the Trail Cam, shared the clip on Facebook, where it quickly became viral and crashed hundreds of reactions.
“It seems that he has won well!” A user wrote.
'Yes! Let the games begin. May he eat good food and start the season in style. It doesn't look too thin! 'Another added.
Sizemore, who has been following the same bear for years, believes that it is a huge male Grizzly that has consistently been the first to wake up from hibernation in the region.
“I believe it is the same big man I have now received three years in a row. A friend who has cameras in the same area says he has been coming for five years, “he told Cowboy State Daily.

Grizzlies in the Greater Yellowstone -Ecosystem – About Wyoming, Montana and Idaho – usually start to rise in early March, with big men who first wake up.
Females with cubs are the last to leave them, sometimes wait until May.
Sizemore said that this specific bear is right on schedule, despite many commentators who said they thought March was early for the bears to get out of hibernation.
But Sizemore claimed that there are signs of other Grizzlies at other Yellowstone locations.
'This bear usually comes out around this week, or there is also one to see in the Lamar or Hayden Valley area. Tracks were seen in Lamar Valley, Black Sand Basin and Island Park last week, “he told The Outlet.
After months in hibernation, the top priority for waking Bears is food.
Sizemore said he suspects that this Grizzly is hunting.
“In the past, I believe that a house in the area was feeding maize to deer, which attracts the bear, I don't know if that is still the case, but there is a lot of deer, moose and fox on the camera this week,” he said.

In October, Grizzly 399, the beloved 28-year-old bear who lived near the famous Yellowstone National Park and pulled huge crowds of tourists and photographers to the region, killed by a driver.
The driver who eventually hit and killed the Mama-Beer was released from all the crimes, despite the fact that deeply sad fans called to call on authorities to hold them responsible.
“It was really an accident,” said Lt. John Stetzenback from the Sheriff's Office by Lincoln County at the time at Cowboy State Daily.
The Mama -Beer was beaten and killed by a Subaru in the Snake River Canyon in West -Wyoming while he encouraged the research with her youngest cub.
While the Grizzly season starts, many wonder if Spirit – the last cub of Wyoming's legendary Grizzly 399 – will appear.
Last August nature officials in Montana euthanized a black bear that they believe they have attacked and injured a three -year -old girl in a tent.
The young girl was later taken to a hospital in Billings.
She had been in a tent on Perry's RV campsite just north of Yellowstone National Park. It is unclear whether there were adults with them at the time.

The Mama – Beer was with her youngest cub – who survived – at the time of the accident, but the one -year -old Grizzly has not been lying since her mother's death. While the Grizzly season is starting, many wonder if the cub will appear
While the girl was lucky to survive the meeting, not everyone lives to tell the story after a Grizzly attack.
In 2023 a woman was found dead on a hiking trail in Montana after he came into contact with a Grizzlybear near Yellowstone National Park.
The Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks said in a statement how the nameless woman was found dead near West Yellowstone, a city of Montana, nestled in the Custer Gallatin National Forest, just west of the famous National Park.
They said that the woman was found 'after an apparent bears' on the basis of what the researchers were determined, Grizzlybeerstracks on site.
