Wyoming – Bears

Wyoming’s wild charm often conceals a grizzly secret – the state’s most dangerous creature, the formidable grizzly bear! Recent years have seen a chilling increase in bear encounters, with these majestic beasts daringly confronting hunters, hikers, and cyclists in their natural habitat. The CDC might not have the stats, but Wyoming’s wilderness whispers tales of the real king of the forest – the grizzly!

In a twist of fate that might strike some as unexpected, the tally of fatalities from these attacks remains quite low. However, there’s a chilling exception. In the expansive wilderness of Yellowstone National Park, in 2023, a bear’s fury claimed the life of a 47-year-old hiker, adding a tragic chapter to the park’s history.
