Good morning, Cheyenne.

Due to a mild winter, Wyoming's predators face tougher hunts with fewer weakened animals available, and grizzly bears are relying on fresh grass while wolves and coyotes produce larger litters to cope.

Animal experts say future spring precipitation will be key for food sources + the survival of these species.

University of Wyoming researchers and Wyoming Game and Fish Department studied black bear behavior across four regions, finding bears search for more forage to build fat even in food–rich areas.

Their findings may help wildlife managers adjust regional bear management strategies.

This past winter, wildlife advocates met at the state Capitol to push for two landowner hunting license bills (raising concerns about public land management and hunting traditions in Cheyenne).

The Wyoming Department of Health confirmed 26 whooping cough cases in 2026—about two-thirds in Fremont County—and warned that infants are at high risk while advising those with symptoms to seek prompt care.

Wyoming high school surveys show nearly 29.6% of teens used e‑cigarettes in the past month, making the state a national leader in vaping.

Health experts blame easy access and weak rules (the U.S. ranks 53rd out of 55 countries) for the trend.
