Adult Female
Year First Identified: 2016 as 2.5 year-old subadult
Year Last Observed: 2023
Offspring Of: Not known at this time, however there is speculation that 717 could possibly be the female runt from 409 Beadnose's 2012 litter of spring cubs.
Known Litters of Cubs: 0 (as of 2023)
Genetics Study Samples Obtained: There were no known darting attempts, successful or unsuccessful, of 717 by Ranger Michael Saxton in 2016 or 2017.
Identification:[]
2017 Bears of Brooks River book: 717 is a small bear with a shaggy dark blond coat. Her ears are light, rectangular, and placed on the top of her head. Her muzzle is skinny, upturned, and tapered to a point. Her eyes are set close together.
2018 Bears of Brooks River book: 717 is a small bear with a shaggy blond coat. Her legs skinny and lighter than her body. Her ears are light, rectangular, and placed on the top of her head. Her muzzle is skinny, upturned, and tapered to a point. Her eyes are set close together.
Distinctive Behaviors:[]
2017 Bears of Brooks River book: 717 survives by exercising caution around other bears and by capitalizing on scavenging opportunities. She was seen in July eating scraps of salmon along the cut bank and riffles area. In the fall, she was observed fishing the cut bank and lower river.
Subadult bears like 717 are the underdogs of the bear world. Relegated to the least preferred fishing locations, 717 must consume enough calories to make it through winter, in addition to fueling her growth into adulthood. During this time she must remain vigilant of other bears that may prey on her. Though subadulthood is a time of struggle, young bears like 717 are adaptable, smart, and fully capable of succeeding.

"When I first saw 717 at Brooks in July 2018, I thought she was 500 Indy -- not just because of the blonde ear tips, but also because of the way she walks!
I've always thought that 500 Indy has a very distinctive walk. She has kind of sashays -- I think she swings her hips like Jessica Rabbit!
And I believe 717 has that same swing in her giddyup.
(Am I the only one who's noticed this? I look forward to hearing your thoughts.)"
