A female grizzly eyes her new habitat in the Cabinet Mountains of western Montana as she leaves a culvert trap on Oct. 2, 2005. The bear, trapped in the North Fork of the Flathead River drainage, Sept. 30, 2005, was transplanted to the Cabinet-Yaak ecosystem in order to help boost the struggling grizzly bear population. Montana wildlife officials on Tuesday, Dec. 14, 2021, advanced plans that could allow grizzly bear hunting in areas around Glacier and Yellowstone national parks, if states in the U.S. northern Rockies succeed in their attempts to lift federal protections for the animals.
