relocated

The zoo was the subject of protests for housing a polar bear that died in 2016.

The Camp Creek site was chosen due to the lack of human presence and ability to release the bears several miles behind closed gates.

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

On Aug. 8, an adult male grizzly bear was captured for depredating cattle on a Forest Service grazing allotment north of Pinedale.

Game managers moved the bear to the Bear Creek drainage about 10 miles northeast of Dubois.

The release site is located in currently occupied grizzly bear habitat.

The bear was captured Aug. 11 for getting into livestock feed west of Meeteetse in Park County.

The bear was moved to the Snake River drainage about 20 miles northwest of Moran in Grand Teton National Park.

The bears were released in remote areas that are current bear habitat territory.

The bear was moved to an area in the Shoshone National Forest, about 5 miles east of Yellowstone National Park.
