(YELLOWSTONE, N.P.) – A ranger in Yellowstone National Park has killed a gray wolf that officials say had repeatedly come close to people in recent months. Officials say efforts to scare the wolf away after several encounters proved to be unsuccessful. In an effort to ensure the safety of visitors, a ranger shot the wolf last Saturday. Officials believe the wolf had become conditioned to human food and was following people. Feeding animals is a violation of park rules.
