You may be wondering - shouldn't these bears be in hibernation? Well, that's not always the case.

We talked to Jamie Jonkel with Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks, the bear specialist for the Missoula area.

He said there are still a few grizzlies out and about and some won't den until the last week of December. That's the same for a handful of black bears as well.
