COLUMBIA FALLS, Mont. (AP) - An adult grizzly bear and her cub have been released into Glacier National Park after being captured near Columbia Falls.
Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks bear managers say the bears had been seen feeding on apples during the previous two weeks along the base of the Swan Mountains and were ultimately removed from a meat processing plant last weekend.
The bears had been eating meat craps behind the meat processing plant.
The adult bear is about 15 years old and weighed 419 pounds. Wildlife officials say the cub was also in good shape, weighing in at 144 pounds.
Wildlife officials still have traps set for a male bear that had been seen with the others.
