Fatal Bear Attack Claims Woman's Life Near Yellowstone Park

A woman was found dead in an apparent bear attack near Yellowstone National Park in Montana. Grizzly bear tracks were discovered near the woman's body, prompting the closure of the Buttermilk area in the Custer Gallatin National Forest for human safety. Grizzly bear populations have been expanding in the area, although they rarely exhibit predatory behavior towards humans. Montana wildlife officials are urging people to be "bear aware" and take precautions such as carrying bear spray, traveling in groups, and avoiding approaching bears.
