TRUE GRIZZ by Douglas H. Chadwick.

Asked to name America's premier grizz country outside of Alaska, many Americans would say Yellowstone. The area has about one silvertip for every twenty to forty square miles. Key sections of the North Fork host one for every five to ten square miles. The valley also supports a robust cougar population, and it was here that natural recolonization of the western United States by wolves got under way, beginning in the late 1970s and early 1980s. They share the terrain with lynx, bobcat, marten, fisher, wolverine, river otter, badger, mink, various weasels, coyote, red fox, and black bear. As ecologist John Weaver pointed out in a recent report, THe Transboundary Flathead, what emerges is a carnivore community "unmatched in North America for its variety, completeness, use of valley bottomlands, and density of species which are rare elsewhere."
