This brown bear was killed in by a vehicle on Gambell Road in Anchorage early Friday, August 22, 2008. The 15-year-old bear had been the subject of a research by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game and was known as bear 211. Research biologist Sean Farley of ADF&G says spent much of his time in Far North Bicentennial Park, often near Elmore Road. Farley says this bear was not involved in an attack this summer on Petra Davis, a conclusion he bases on analysis of the bear's DNA.
