For nearly two decades, Grizzly #399 has been a fixture in Grand Teton National Park. Known only by her research number, #399 has captivated photographers since 2007, becoming the world’s most famous — and photographed — grizzly in the world. Our narrative follows #399 as she struggles to raise an unusually large litter in the face of human encroachment, a rapidly changing climate and threat of losing her protection under the Endangered Species Act. On October 22, 2024, Grizzly 399 was fatally struck by a vehicle on the roadside south of Jackson. The filmmaking team and Jackson Wild are honored to share #399: Queen of the Tetons; as a tribute to her life and legacy.
