Two young grizzlies who were apparently killed by the adult in the Grand Teton National Park

Two young grizzly bears were found dead in Grand Teton National Park, the obvious victims of another grizzly.

According to parking employees, the two annual bears were found on Tuesday morning about 250 meters south of the park of Colter Bay Area. Both showed signs of a depression through a larger bear, according to a parking release.

After the discovery, the employees of law enforcement and wild animals conducted extensive patrols from Colter Bay, the area, the Highway 89, the Lauch Marina, the AMK Ranch and the surrounding locations to monitor the bear activities. During these operations, parking staff observed a single grizzly bear for adults with red ear tags nearby. It was identified as GB1063, a bear that had often been observed with her three -year -old cubs in the past few weeks. No Cubs were observed with her during this sighting.

“Bears show a number of fascinating behaviors that are influenced by their biological needs, social structures and environmental factors,” said the biologist of Grand Teton Bear Biologist Justin Schwabedessen. “While it is incredibly sad to lose a grizzly bear, the abolition of other bears has been a natural source for the mortality of young animals in the Greater Yellowstone -ecosystem and previously performed in Grand Teton.”

In the past few weeks, GB1063 and their cubs have been observed in and around developed and residential areas in Colter Bay. In accordance with the parking guidelines, the employees followed the bears when they lingered in these areas or remained right next to the nearby streets. Having is an essential management instrument with which potential conflicts between humans and wild animals are reduced for their and our security.

If necessary to print a bear, the employees use a spectrum of tools that are tailored to the situation and at the same time provide the safety of humans and animals. Every time the hazing was as appropriate and implemented, GB1063 and their cubs remained together.

Based on observed behaviors and evidence, it is likely that a male grizzly bear in the area led to the separation of the annuals of GB1063 and was responsible for the deviation. The third year's status is unknown.
