Griz snatching goat caught on film

A West Glacier filmmaker caught dramatic footage of a grizzly bear hunting and killing a kid mountain goat at a mineral lick on the east side of Glacier National Park. Sumio Harada said he spent June 21 filming the goats at the lick, which is on a slope several hundred feet away from a cliff face. It was a windy day, and he didn’t get much footage. Goats are great climbers and don’t like to venture away from cliffs, which provide escape routes from predators. The next day Harada returned and it was calm/Chris Peterson, Hagadone News Network.
