A mother grizzly and her cubs have been hanging out along a roadside in Grand Teton National Park causing the heaviest traffic the park has seen in decades. A few days ago the group was seen over a fresh kill, prompting motorists to pull off to the side to snap photos. Rangers were on hand to ensure that people stayed in their cars, since though the cubs are cute, they’re less friendly and cuddly than they look. In 2007 a man was bitten by the same bear when he stumbled upon her and three cubs over a just-killed elk. That chance-meeting must have turned a normal hike into an exciting afternoon very quickly.
