One of those bears was a sow that set up house in Marathon County between Rib Mountain and Mosinee and became one of the stars of doctoral student Karl Malcom?s five-year project studying bear movements. She gave birth to four cubs in 2009 and again this year, giving the University of Wisconsin-Madison student a perfect opportunity to follow the young bears as they grew to adulthood and set out on their own.
