In early July, a black bear attacked a campsite in Wyoming's Bighorn National Forest, ignoring attempts by two campers and their four dogs to scare it away. The bear tore into a tent with no food or scented items, and the women had to hide in their cars and drive off. Chris Servheen, former national grizzly bear recovery coordinator for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, said the bear should be euthanized due to its aggressive behavior. The incident occurred on July 5 near Fool Creek; the bear returned in the morning and destroyed the campsite.
