grizzly bears

The groups say Wyoming lacks authority to hold a grizzly hunt.

Of the 32 bears killed, 17 were captured outside the demographic monitoring area.

The Department of Justice has filed the notice of appeal of the ruling.

At least one of the carcasses appeared to have been killed by a hunter but not yet retrieved.

The U.S. District Court judge ordered federal protections restored for grizzly bears in the Northern Rocky Mountains.

The sub-adult female was located to Blackrock drainage northeast of Moran Junction.

Like wolves, grizzly bears have recovered well in some areas but remain absent from much of their historical range.

Presently, over 700 grizzlies live in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.
