In April 1924, a road crew working in Sequoia National Park near Moro Rock witnessed a large animal emerging from the woods. The workers, who had previous experience with the Park Service in Yellowstone, recognized the animal as a grizzly bear due to its cinnamon-colored fur and prominent hump on its back. This sighting was documented in their report.
The encounter with the grizzly bear near Moro Rock in Sequoia National Park served as a reminder of the diverse wildlife found in the area. It also underscored the importance of protecting natural habitats for these animals to thrive.
