tranquilize

The bear was tranquilized and later shot and killed last month after wildlife personnel confirmed they had the right bear — a call based on a distinctive patch of fur on her back.

When a fish and game warden tried to tranquilize the big cat, the officer missed.

Zadeh said it was shortly before 1 p.m. when deputies were called to assist after a fish and game warden tried to tranquilize the big cat.

The animal was tranquilized again, then moved to a bear trap that had been placed on a trailer, the news outlet reported.

A cocktail of drugs that are commonly used to tranquilize wildlife was found in one of the 49-year-old woman’s bones but there was no indication of trauma, the report said.
