Cub of well-known grizzly killed by a car in Wyoming

A bear cub believed to be the offspring of Grizzly 399, one of the best-known bears in the United States, has been hit by a car and killed in Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming, a park spokesman said on Monday.

The blond-faced cub was killed at about 10 p.m. on Sunday night near Pilgrim Creek Road at the national park, said Andrew White.

The driver of the vehicle did not report the incident involving the 50-pound (22.5 kg) cub to the park's dispatch center, White said.

Witnesses said Grizzly 399 frantically tried to attend to her injured offspring, the National Geographic reported.
