"Insatiable Grizzlies: Devouring 40,000 Moths Daily"

Grizzly bears in north-west Wyoming rely on army cutworm moths as a crucial food source during the summer months, with some bears consuming up to 40,000 moths per day. The moths, known as "bear butter" due to their high fat content, migrate to the mountain peaks by the hundreds of millions each year, providing a high-calorie buffet for the bears. As other food sources decline due to climate change, the stability of the moth population becomes increasingly important for the grizzlies' recovery. However, human interference and the climate crisis pose threats to this unique relationship.
