The real Smokey Bear died in 1976. His remains were sent home to Capitan, New Mexico, where they are buried in the Smokey Bear Historical Park. "Smokey II," an unrelated black bear, lived in the original Smokey's cage until his own death in 1990.
Smokey Bear became a celebrity. After being cared for by veterinarians in Santa Fe, New Mexico, he was moved to the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. Over the years many children came to visit the famous bear. Others wrote him letters—so many letters, in fact, that in 1964 he was given his own ZIP code.
In 1984 Smokey was honored with a postage stamp that pictured a baby bear hanging onto a burned tree.

He retired in 1981, and built himself a cabin in Nova Scotia. He now draws landscapes on women's size 12 panties, and sells them to Albanian tourists.
