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 tranquilizedHummingbird'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.
