Occurred on May 17, 2024 / Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA
Info from Licensor: "Took my parents to Yellowstone in May of 2024. For years, they wanted to go. They rarely travel, so we planned a trip for them, driving from Kansas City to Yellowstone. It was the trip of a lifetime for them. There was a surprise snowstorm and the animals seemed to become more active. Prior to leaving for our trip, my mom (who is 75), kept saying all she wanted to see was a bear! As we rounded the curve, the traffic was stopped, and we soon realized there was a momma bear and her 3 cubs. We stayed in our car but to our surprise, people jumped out of their cars and were literally walking towards the bear and her cubs. I was so amazed at what we were seeing and as the bear got closer, we could see how massive she was. She crossed right in front of our car and we soon realized she wanted to cross because a 4th cub was in the meadow on the other side. We continued to watch the mom and her cubs play in the snow in the meadow. Thankfully, no humans were harmed, which could have easily happened."
