Wildlife in western Montana has taken a beating in recent weeks, with two grizzly bear cubs killed on railroad tracks recently southeast of Trego and a bull moose poached southwest of Clinton.

The death of the two cubs brings the total to 44 known or probable grizzly bear mortalities in the Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem (NCDE) across northwest Montana, challenging the troubling record of 46 deaths last year.

Grizzly bears are listed as threatened in the lower 48 states under the Endangered Species Act.
