2nd grizzly bear seen on National Elk Refuge

A second adult grizzly bear has been spotted on the National Elk Refuge near Jackson in northwest Wyoming. The first grizzly was spotted on the refuge on Aug. 20. The second was seen on Tuesday. It is the first time grizzly bears have been seen on the refuge since 1994. Elk refuge biologist Eric Cole says that it remains to be seen if the two sightings of grizzlies on the refuge within a week is coincidence or a sign of a southward shift of the bears. Cole says it's possible that more bears will be observed on the refuge this fall.
