The black bear, whom officials believe was responsible for mauling and injuring a 3-year-old girl in Yellowstone National Park on Sunday night, was captured and euthanized by park authorities on Monday afternoon, according to the Associated Press. Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks Game warden Randy Hutzenbiler told the Associated Press that “there were attractants in the area,” such as trash and food, which led the bear to the campsite at around 10 p.m. on Sunday. The girl was then mauled by the bear in her tent and rushed to a Billings, Montana, hospital, where her condition has not been revealed to the press. Officials then laid traps around the campsite, capturing a bear which they claimed was responsible for the attack on Monday. The bear was then euthanized by Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks officials. In July, a Montana man shot and killed a black bear after being mauled by it while picking berries.Read it at Associated PressRead more at The Daily Beast.

There ain’t nothing funny about getting run over by one of the biggest animals to roam our lands. Elk are one of the largest species of deer in the world. Elk can weigh up to 1,000 pounds and stand up to 6 feet tall at the shoulder. Elk are known for their size and strength along with their massive antlers that males (bulls) grow. Only male elk have antlers, which they shed and regrow each year. The size of an elk’s antlers can vary depending on a variety of factors, including age, genetics, and food sources. Generally, older and larger bulls will have larger antlers than younger bulls. Antlers can grow up to 6 feet in length and can weigh up to 40 pounds.
