Old Ephraim (also known as Old Three Toes due to a deformity in his foot) was a large grizzly bear that roamed Logan Canyon, Utah, in the early 20th century. Famous for preying on livestock and evading hunters for over a decade, he was eventually trapped and killed by sheepherder Frank Clark on August 22, 1923. He should not be confused with Three Toes of Harding County, another notorious surplus killing predator with the same nickname. Old Ephraim is remembered as one of the last grizzly bears in Utah.
