Cutthroat Trout Spawning	Whitebark Pine	Elk Calf

Natural entrees on a bear smorgasbord include grass, berries, fruits, tree cambium, bird eggs, nuts, insects, elk calves, fish, and carrion (including elk and bison carcasses). In late spring, bears prey on newborn elk calves until the calves become too fast for the bear to catch. Also in spring, Yellowstone’s cutthroat trout swim up streams to spawn and the bears have a feast! Bears are known to fish in 36 of Yellowstone Lake’s tributaries.
