The rare white grizzly was startled by a train and ran in front of oncoming traffic, hours after her two cubs were killed on the same highway, Parks Canada officials said on Tuesday.
A rare white grizzly was killed after being struck by a vehicle on the Trans- Canada Highway, about 12 hours after her two bear cubs died after being hit by a car on the same roadway, Parks Canada officials said on Tuesday. Park officials received a report that the two cubs were struck and killed early Thursday morning. On the evening of the same day, the cubs' mother — known as Grizzly Bear 178 — was grazing in a ditch in Yoho National Park.
Since 2022, wildlife specialists have spent considerable amounts of time trying to deter the bear from entering the roadside, but GB 178 was particularly skilled at identifying gaps in the fencing and breaking through them. Relocating the bear and her cubs 'wasn't considered an option,' Steven said, as they weren't on the roadside for long periods, and moving them was riskier.
