The first successfully radio instrumented grizzly bear in Yellowstone National Park. Grizzly No. 40 or called "Marian" by John & Frank Craighead. The bear was named after the engineers' wife who designed the collar transmitter.
The Craighead brothers were the pioneers of grizzly bear research in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Their successful implementation and deployment of radio collars on grizzly bears revolutionized the ability to track free roaming populations of animals in the wild.
