GBOP's Eagle Festival booth

Eagle Festival visitors learn about grizzly bears at the GBOP booth. Some 4000-5000 people
visit the festival which is held in Concrete, WA in February each year. GBOP

A young visitor holds up the enormous skull of a 1200 pound Alaskan 
brown/grizzly bear at the GBOP booth. These giants reach much bigger proportions than 
their cousins in the North Cascades, which would average 250-500 pounds (Photo: Pat Barton).
