Excerpt: “On Tuesday May 6, 2025, Grand Teton National Park law enforcement rangers found a deceased grizzly bear along Highway 26 within the park east of the Buffalo Fork River. Law enforcement and wildlife rangers then initiated an investigation in coordination with US Fish and Wildlife Service. The investigation indicated the bear was hit by a vehicle and made it to a patch of willows about 125 yards from the road where it succumbed to its injuries. The bear may have been deceased for several days. Using ear tags and a PIT tag, wildlife rangers identified the bear as GB1058. GB1058 was a 5-year-old male bear when he was killed. The bear appeared to be in good condition for his age and the time of year. The bear’s remains were put back onto the landscape in Grand Teton National Park. GB1058 was one of four offspring that emerged with GB399 in May 2020. GB1058 had occasionally been observed in the park since he was weened in 2022, but no confirmed sightings of him this spring had been reported.”
