MAMMOTH HOT SPRINGS, Wyo.– A female adult black bear in Yellowstone National Park was euthanized on Friday after "concerning incidents" around becoming food-conditioned at a backcountry campsite, national park officials said. According to the NPS, the bear crushed an empty tent at a campsite at the beginning of June.

A black bear was killed in a management action for the first time since 2020 after eating food storage near Blacktail Deer Creek.
