Grizzly 399 and her four cubs have officially separated, spreading out into different areas of Grand Teton National Park and the unincorporated areas of Teton County on Thursday and Friday.

"One cub was hazed with vehicles and cracker shells Friday morning after spending the evening in the Solitude subdivision with a collar-free sibling.

Wyoming Game and Fish Department Large Carnivore Supervisor Dan Thompson said the bear had not gotten into a conflict or accessed human-related foods.

Rather, it was hazed to keep it out of a residential area and let the 2-year-old subadult know “it’s not an area we want it to habituate to,” Thompson told the Jackson Hole Daily.

The Friday morning operation came after 399’s cubs were emancipated over the previous 48 hours, an action that wildlife managers have widely expected since the five bears emerged from their den on Easter weekend.
Grizzly cubs usually separate from their mothers about two years after being born. Grizzly 399 first emerged from the den with her four cubs in 2020."
