Grizzly bears will be reintroduced to North Cascades National Park, federal officials announced Thursday.

Wildlife biologists plan to airlift three to seven bears each summer into the rugged wilderness northeast of Seattle from healthy populations in Montana, Wyoming, and British Columbia. The goal is to build an initial population of 25 bears after a decade, growing to 200 bears by the end of the century.

    Friendly reminder- they really are as cute and fluffy as they look. But they’re not cuddly and don’t like people taking selfies with them. Admire the cute floofers from a distance or they’ll maul you into an anecdote.
