After acting like it was becoming habituated to people, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department captured and relocated a subadult male grizzly bear south of Cody last week.
The subadult male was “preemptively captured” on Thursday, Sept. 26 “for habituated behavior,” the Game and Fish said.
In cooperation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Shoshone National Forest, the bear was relocated to the Lake Creek drainage, about 40 miles northwest of Cody.
Grizzly bear relocation is used to minimize conflicts between humans and grizzly bears and is critical to the management of the population, the Game and Fish says.
Bears deemed an immediate threat to human safety are not released back into the wild.
