Discover, Learn and Explore at the Grizzly & Wolf
Discovery Center
(West Yellowstone, Montana)
The Grizzly & Wolf Discovery
Center, located in West Yellowstone, Montana is a
not-for-profit, AZA Accredited facility dedicated to providing
visitors to the Yellowstone area an opportunity to learn about,
view and ultimately appreciate the grizzly bear and gray wolf.
The core of the GWDC's effort
is to empower visitors with knowledge about grizzlies and wolves
through educational programs. While visitors can spend the
majority of their time watching these fascinating animals, the Center also offers; Keeper
Kids (kids help hide food for the bears), Jr. Tracker Program
(Radio track and study a model hibernating bear), live
Bird-of-Prey demonstrations, Safety in Bear Country, Living With
Bears (meet Jewel, a Karelian Bear Dog), Yellowstone Park Ranger
talks, movies and a world-class exhibit, Bears: Imagination and
Reality.

Grizzlies at play
The grizzly bears that reside
at the GWDC are animals unable to live in the wild for different
reasons. Many were orphaned in the wild and rescued from certain
death.
Others had become nuisance bears and were destined for
destruction.
These animals have a second
chance the Center and, by helping with the education of
visitors, their lives may help other bears remain in the wild.
The wolves were a
captive-born, unplanned litter and cannot be released into the
wild. The GWDC agreed to take individual pups from four
different litters, including a yearling female who acted as the
surrogate mother.
These wolves were given the opportunity to
develop strong social ties and have since formed a cohesive
pack.
No visit to the Yellowstone
area is complete without exploring the intriguing worlds of the
bears and wolves at the Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center.
Wolves being social
The Center is open 365 days a year (GWDC
bears do not hibernate).
