The University of Montana kept a live bear cub on campus to represent their team from around 1897-1960. The cub had often become too large and unmanageable by the end of the season, and would be transferred to a zoo or other animal facility. The practice died out, and the team is now represented by beloved Monte, their costumed mascot. Show your love for Montana with this vintage realistic grizzly, perfect for the next Griz-Cat game!
