Welcome back to Bear Necessities. In this episode, we journey into the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, where I share novel information gained through meetings with National Park and Forest Rangers. I discuss the various forms of life that thrive within the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, exploring the impacts of grizzly bears and black bears as they roam across vast expanses of wilderness and unravel the web of ecological relationships that sustains life in this historic landscape.
