Abstract: Grizzly bear (Ursus arctos) movement patterns were studied with the aid of 18 radio-instrumented grizzly bears in 1975 and 1976. Five bears gave minimal information because of death, transmitter failure, or loss of transmitters. Seasonal home range information is presented for 13 bears. Two bears, trapped inside Yellowstone National Park, included areas outside of the park in their home ranges. Thirteen bears trapped outside included parts of the park in their home ranges. Three sows with young gave no indication of having smaller home ranges than other individuals. Movement patterns prior to denning and dates of denning varied between individuals.
