No. Species are not static. Large predators like grizzlies and wolves move in and out of areas over decades as they alter prey relatioships. It is hard to describe how vast and unmonitored this part of BC actually is. It is comparabke to the empty parts of alaska, but without the roads. Nobody believes that this is the first, or last, mother grizzly on the island. It may be the first known, or first recorded in the last century, but it will have happened before multiple times. It will be nothing new to nature, not in the long run. Another island near vancouver (bowen) is said to have no black bears. But given the population density of bears surrounding the island, Bowen could have black bears instantly. All it takes is one pregnant female getting scared enough to make the swim. If they arent there now, they likely were there in centuries past.
