Moose, Wyo. (AP) Biologists in Grand Teton National Park euthanized a black bear yesterday after the bear scaled a fence to get to food and bluff-charged park rangers.

Park officials say the 150-pound male bear had repeatedly come near humans and obtained human food.

The bear was trapped and fitted with a radio collar earlier this month so park officials could track its movements.

Yesterday, the bear was given food at a backcountry campsite.

Then it pushed against windows at Jenny Lake Lodge and peered into the building before scaling a six-foot fence to get to the lodge's kitchen.

When park rangers responded, the bear charged them.
