Cubs Of Troublesome Grizzly Given Tracking Collars

Loading

       Wildlife managers in northwest Wyoming have put tracking collars on 2 of 4 cubs belonging to a well-known grizzly bear that has been raiding human sources of food. 

        Grizzly #399 and her current litter of cubs have run into trouble recently by getting into garbage, apiaries, and animal feed in the Jackson area. 

      The U-S Fish and Wildlife Service and other agencies trapped 3 of the cubs on Saturday, but put tracking collars on just 2 of the yearlings before releasing them.

        Wildlife officials say the collars should help them address future problems involving the bears.
