'Scarface' or formally grizzly number 211 photograpped at the Yellowstone National Park in the United States

Scarface, a 25 year old grizzly bear who was frequently photographed and observed has been fatally shot. The famous bear was found with a gun shot wound outside the Yellowstone National Park. In the 25 years of his life the grizzly had become iconic to the park.

In a news statement released in April 2016 the Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks department announced his death. However the shooting is said to have happened 5 months before in November 2015.

Scarface's death is a huge blow to the endangered species protection effort in the United States. And because grizzlies are a protected species his death is being investigated.

Scarface

He often allowed humans to come in close proximity to him.
This made him a popular subject for photographers.
His scar marks made him easy to recognise.
His maximum recorded weight was 600 pounds.
He was 338 pounds when last documented in 2015.

Scarface came to be known by the name owing to diagonal gash wounds on his face. He was formally labeled as Number 211.

According to a Washington Post report, Scientists had captured him 17 times to keep a track of his health and movements.
