On Sunday, Wyoming officials found a grizzly bear living in the Bighorn Mountains, a range 100 miles east of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem that grizzlies haven't occupied for almost a century.
But, on Monday, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department killed the subadult male bruin. The bear had attacked a cow some 20 miles south of Ten Sleep, injuring the domestic animal to the point where it was euthanized.
