(POCATELLO, ID) – A grizzly bear cub has found a new home at the Pocatello Zoo. The 2-year-old female was caught in a culvert trap in Wyoming last week.

Wildlife biologists say she posed too much of a risk to humans in the wild because she was slowly becoming accustomed to human food.

The Idaho State Journal reports that she’ll remain in quarantine for the next month and will be gradually introduced to other animals at the zoo.
