Wolves are also outcompeting bears for food.

In July, outside Cody, WY, a man was attacked by a Griz sow, with 3 cubs. After the initial blind side attack and a brief retreat, the Griz threatned another attack and the man was able to shoot and kill the sow......it was only 255 pounds! That is about half of the normal weight for a nursing sow (500 lbs.)
It isn’t just the unusal 3rd cub, but a clear lack of food that contributed to her serious underweight condition.

Wildlife managers say a grizzly bear killed 13 sheep last month on a grazing allotment in Caribou-Targhee National Forest.

Mark Bruscino, bear management program supervisor for the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, said the bear killed eight ewes and five lambs Aug. 15. Bruscino estimates grizzlies have killed 35 cattle and 45 sheep statewide so far this year.

Wouldn’t you expect a malnourished sow to lose her cubs rather than giving birth to them?
