PM: Bear Family Attracts Tourists

Grizzly bear No. 399 crosses a road in Grand Teton National Park, Wyo., with her three cubs. The bears are part of a family that’s become a tourist attraction because of their frequent appearances near roads. Biologists speculate this behavior keeps at bay adult male bears, which sometimes kill cubs. (AP photo/Tom Mangelsen)
