Willie wa 16 months old when he arrived at IEAS with his siblings. They were born at a facility that had an older pair of grizzly bears they didn't think were capable of breeding. The birth of these cubs caused a problem in that the facility didn't have the habitat in which to properly keep the cubs or the financing to build such a habitat. Willie was named by Phil and Karen Drayer.
