A grizzly bear that found the seeds in a bird feeder
to his liking was recently moved to the southwestern area of
Yellowstone National Park. The two-and-one-half-year-old male bear
was trapped by the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks
on private land near Big Sky, Mont., reports AP. The bear was the
first trapped in the greater Yellowstone ecosystem this year for
“management” purposes. Six bears were relocated last year. Park
officials said the bear might have been attracted to the bird
feeder because this was a poor spring for forage.
