grizzly bear

A pilot spotted the first bear coming out of hibernation in Yellowstone.

The most famous bear in Wyoming — if not in the world — made an appearance in downtown Jackson this week.

NBC Montana shared the footage to Twitter on Wednesday morning.

The incident is still under investigation, according to a press release from the Custer Gallatin National Forest.

Because grizzly bears are listed as “threatened” under the federal Endangered Species Act, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service appeal and Peta are coming together to offer a monetary reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible for the suspected poaching.

Wildlife officials say they have killed a grizzly bear after it killed a cow on private land in southwestern Montana outside Yellowstone National Park.

Prosecutors said Berg shot the bear in self-defense in the Bob Marshall Wilderness in 2017.

Holland says attempts to incite the bear to leave the area west of Augusta were unsuccessful.

The sub-adult male bear was killed on Tuesday in the Helmville Valley south of the Bob Marshall Wilderness.

Montana’s grizzly bears are expanding into new territory and FWP has proof after a 3-year Old grizzly was caught in a culvert trap a few weeks ago.
