482m!! like many young and newly-independent bears, he looks skinny or even lanky. But, it is important to remember that he is still growing taller at the same time that he is growing fatter for hibernation. He's only 4.5 years old, after all, and like other brown bears at Katmai, he wont stop growing until he is about 10 years old.

for a 4.5 year old bear, he is looking quite well positioned for his first hibernation alone 🥰
