Grizzly bears are only relocated into the recovery zone or adjacent areas.

The bear was captured for livestock depredation northwest of Cody on private land.

Grizzlies were wiped out in most of the U.S. during last century.

Governor Mark Gordon has criticized a recent announcement by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for possibly putting the gray wolf back on the endangered species list.

In the wake of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announcing its plan to review whether the gray wolf should be re-listed under the Endangered Species Act, Congresswoman Liz Cheney has said that Wyoming, not Washington, should be the ones to decide whether that should happen.

The remote landscape of badlands and prairie is bisected by the Missouri River.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said gray wolves have exceeded goals for recovery.

Because grizzly bears are listed as “threatened” under the federal Endangered Species Act, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service appeal and Peta are coming together to offer a monetary reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible for the suspected poaching.

Grizzly bears are a protected species in the U.S outside Alaska.

Wyoming will receive more than $17 million to support critical state conservation and outdoor recreation projects this year, according to the U.S. Department of the Interior.
