Alert hiker Joe Sebille captured the first photos of a grizzly in Washington’s North Cascades National Park in nearly a half-century. Hiking last October, Sebille snapped the bruin with a point-and-shoot and only realized recently, on showing the pic to a park ranger, the momentous nature of his encounter.
And, in further carnivorous coverage, a new wolf pack—complete with nursing mom— has surfaced in Washington’s Kittitas County. Might be time to move back to the old stomping grounds.
