Grizzly bear sleeping around town sent out of state
11/20/03
DRIGGS, Idaho (AP) - A grizzly bear that had been hanging out in doorways and garages has been evicted and run out of the state.
Wildlife managers from Idaho and Wyoming were able to capture a 2-year-old female grizzly Wednesday morning. The bear had been sleeping on people's porches and in garages for nearly a week.
By now, most bears have found a place to hibernate for the winter.
Idaho Fish and Game biologist Gregg Losinski said this could be the young bear's first winter on her own and maybe her denning instinct was confused. He said the homes probably looked warm and inviting to her.
The bear is being moved to a remote location near Cody, Wyo.
