A Wyoming bear encounter near Cody in 1912 inspired artist Leigh to paint a dramatic grizzly in action. Director J. D. Figgins of the Colorado Museum explains Leigh rode with guides Ned Frost and Fred Richards as dogs chased the bear up a mountain and into a snow trap. Leigh captured the moment with camera and sketch as Champ the pup helped in the bear’s ring, ending with a neck shot to finish the fight. The piece highlights the grizzly’s wary intellect and varied diet and notes the animal’s endangered status outside national parks.
