If you’re a bear in Yellowstone park, your summer might suck. Finding food. If you’re a mother bear, preventing your cubs from being killed by a male bear. Hoping wolves won’t steel your skills. Bears have it hard.

It’s said that most animals born in Yellowstone never live past a year. Death by mauling, starvation, abandonment, or something else.

I can’t complain about a mosquito bite or annoying people.

I’m in my 40s . Compared to a young animal in Yellowstone, I’ve got it made.
