Study Indicates That Montana and Glacier National Park’s Grizzly Bear Population Has Grown
Researchers and officials from the U.S. Geological Survey and the National Park Service on Tuesday presented the findings of a 4 year study that estimated the population of grizzly bears in Montana. The results confirmed what was assumed: the endangered grizzly bear population has grown. There are now an estimated 765 bears living in northwest Montana, in places like Glacier National Park. This number indicates that the population has grown by about 2.5X since the last survey was conducted.
