Yosemite ranger shares heartbreaking photo of mama bear standing over her dead cub after it was hit by a car, as National Park grapples with summer visitor explosion
The now-viral post was written and uploaded by an anonymous park ranger to Yosemite's Facebook page Friday
'We get this call a lot,' the post reads. 'Too much, to be honest. 'Bear hit by vehicle, dead on the side of the road.' Sadly, it's become routine'
Vehicle-bear collisions are now one of the leading causes of black bear mortality in Yosemite
At least eight bears have been hit by cars along Yosemite roads this year
