This grizzly is putting the leftovers away after a big meal ๐ฝ๏ธ
Grizzly bears will cache away large food items like this carcass by burying it to protect it from scavengers like wolves, coyotes, and birds. Once cached, they will typically stay nearby, sleeping right next to or even right on top of the carcass!
They can stay in the same spot for several days, eating and sleeping, until they have finished.
We love finding carcasses like this, because we know we will be having pretty reliable wildlife sightings for a while! ๐ป
