Biologists kill bear suspected in mauling

ANCHORAGE - The Alaska Department of Fish and Game said this week it killed a grizzly bear believed responsible for at least one attack in an Anchorage park.

Wildlife biologists shot a female grizzly that they believe attacked a jogger this month, and department officials said they're trying to capture her two cubs.

The bears were feeding on a bull moose carcass in a rural Anchorage neighborhood.

Officials are not sure if the same animal mauled a 15-year-old mountain bike racer in June but they plan to conduct a DNA analysis to find out.

If the cubs are captured, they will be sent to an animal facility in the lower 48 states.
