A Us hiker was killed by a grizzly bear in Yellowstone National Park last week, the National Park Service said a preliminary investigation had found.
The body of the unnamed victim, from Montana, was found on Friday afternoon in one of the park’s most popular off-trail areas.
Tracks found at the scene seem to suggest that an adult female and at least one cub attacked the hiker.
However, the man’s official cause of death will not be released until an autopsy is conducted, and additional evidence is examined.
Bear traps have now been set up around the area near Lake Village, which has been closed off to visitors until further notice.
If the animals involved with the attack are tracked down by investigators, they will be euthanised.
