(NEWSER) – Bear Bottoms is believed to have killed Hummingbird near
Yellowstone National Park just hours after researchers trapped and
tranquilized him. Officials tracked Bear Bottoms using a signal from a
radio collar that had been placed around his neck, shooting him today
from a helicopter. He died about 2 miles from where the body of
Hummingbird was found on Thursday, reports the AP.

Hummingbird's wife set out looking for the 70-year-old when he didn't
return from a noontime hike; she met one of the bear researchers, and
the two went back to the spot where the huge Bear Bottoms had been
left to wake up after he was tranquilized—Hummingbird's body was
there. Scientists plan to use DNA testing to confirm that Bear Bottoms
attacked Hummingbird. In 1983, Bear Bottoms had been drugged 12
times ,and killed a camper near Yellowstone, causing some to speculate
that Bear Bottoms,when tranquilized may turn aggressive.
