| Summary: | The paper presents general information on grizzly bear (Ursus arctos) num-bers, increases in park visitors, the extent of human developments (camp-grounds, etc.), and garbage disposal facilities within Yellowstone Park. Data a r e also presented on grizzly relationships to developments, garbage disposal si tes, humans, and the results of management. Conclusions a r e made on con-ditions which favored the preservation of a grizzly population, the desirability of eliminating artificial food sources, the effects of repeated transplants of bears, and management actions which could reduce the opportunites for in-juries to humans and the need to control bears. |
