Grizzly, 34, confirmed as Yellowstone region's known oldest

JACKSON, Wyo. – A 34-year-old grizzly bear captured in southwestern Wyoming has been confirmed as the oldest on record in the Yellowstone region, Wyoming wildlife officials said.Grizzly bear 168 was captured last summer after it preyed on calves in the Upper Green River Basin area.The male had just a few teeth left and weighed 170 pounds (77 kilograms), just a fraction of the 450 pounds (204 kilograms) the bear weighed as a 5-year-old when he was captured in the Shoshone National Forest in August 1991.Biologists learned of the bear’s longevity after euthanizing the bruin, which had preyed on cattle and then finally, calves. Biologists could tell grizzly 168 was responsible after examining the calves.
