Speedy, aka Bear 235 or Goldie, was born in 2004 to Pits. She has grown up along the Chilkoot River and is highly habituated to people, and frequently seen. In 2010 she had her first two cubs. She is known as Speedy due to her ground-eating walk and her lightening fish hunting technique. She was fitted with a radio collar in the late summer of 2008. That collar was removed and replaced with a newer one in 2010.
