"A bear attacked a person sleeping inside a tent early Thursday, leading authorities to close two campgrounds near Yellowstone National Park."

"The camper suffered bite and claw marks on his arms while protecting himself. His name and age weren't disclosed. Authorities said he was taken to West Park Hospital in Cody, Wyo., which refused to release any information."

"As a precaution, the U.S. Forest Service closed the Soda Butte campground, where the camper was attacked, and the nearby Chief Joseph campground ...

Forest spokeswoman Marna Daley said the bear was believed to be a grizzly. ..."

"The camper apparently had stored his food properly, Daley said. She didn't know if he was camping alone." ...
