Where's a Bear

New smartphone apps pinpoint Yellowstone wildlife

CHEYENNE, Wyo. -- Pretty soon, the best place to be on the lookout for wolves, grizzly bears, bison and other wildlife in Yellowstone National Park could be your phone.

Just don't be surprised if lots of other people get the same idea and most of the creatures you see are the two-legged variety.

New smartphone apps enable people to pinpoint where they've recently seen critters in Yellowstone. People who drive to those locations can -- at least in theory -- improve their odds of seeing wildlife compared to the typical tourist's dumb luck.
