Visher (1914:91) reported that a black bear "was seen near the Cave
Hills in July, 1910." He further noted: "Bears have been recently killed
in the Long Pine and Ekalaka forests [of adjacent Montana], but their
day of extermination is here near at hand." We know of no other reports
of this carnivore from the area.
