Hope and researcher (2010)


In this May 26, 2010 file photo, a researcher from the North American Bear Center uses food to lure a bear cub named Hope out of a cedar tree near Ely, Minn. Researchers are worried about what may have happened to a black bear made famous when her birth in northeastern Minnesota was broadcast online. Hope, who had a radio collar, disappeared recently near Ely and researchers fear she may have been killed by a hunter. (AP Photo/The Duluth News Tribune, Clint Austin, File)
