Have you ever been driving through Yellowstone National Park when, all of a sudden, your way is blocked by bighorn sheep?

The results of the necropsy on the grizzly bear that killed one and mauled two others in the Soda Butte Campground outside Yellowstone National Park indicates that she was ill and stressed but not baited, providing some vital clues that could certainly explain her condition.
