Text of sign:

Grizzly Territory

You are standing at the edge of prime grizzly bear habitat.  All the ingredients are here.  A network of shallow, meandering streams

offer relatively easy fishing.  The overlapping lake, river, and forest eco-systems support a rich variety of animals and plants.  

Omnivorous grizzlies depend on the diversity.

Even this broad, delta-like expanse is not enough territory to support a mother bear with cubs.  Pelican Creek winds for miles

through a vast wilderness to the north.  Because Pelican Valley is home to herds of elk and bison, grizzlies can find abundant 

carrion - desperately needed protein after a long hibernation.

Though grizzly bears are far-ranging, and can appear elsewhere in the park, they are more likely to frequent stream valleys like 

Pelican Creek.  Look for similar habitat in Hayden Valley and Antelope Creek drainage.
