MONTREAL, Canada (AFP) — Four grizzly bears have been identified as the culprits in the death of a mother and her daughter near a hiking trail in western Canada, authorities said Tuesday.

DNA tests from the site of the mauling last week in British Columbia determined that a female bear, or sow, and her three cubs killed the pair.

The animals have been put down, or “dispatched,” as the provincial wildlife services said in a statement.
