A long time, and well loved, resident of Yellowstone National Park, Scarface the bear, has been found shot dead. Scarface has been entertaining photographers, non-threateningly, for decades. It seems unlikely he was killed in self-defense, as he was unlikely to disturb family pic-a-nics. ICTMN shares: In the ongoing research into the habits of the grizzlies in Yellowstone, Scarface had been captured, collared, and released 17 times. Scarface did survive to a ripe old age for his species, 25.
