A new Taser model has been announced for zapping wildlife.

"Provided that both darts hit the target separated by a reasonable distance, a crippling 20,000-volt pulsed current can then be passed through the victim's body. This will generally cause a human to collapse immediately: and it now emerges, according to experiments by an Alaska Department of Fish and Game operative, that tasing will also incapacitate both brown bears and moose, species which occasionally give the authorities trouble in some regions of the States."

No mention of use on grizzlies - probably just make them cranky.

An incident in Oregon also appears to confirm that a Taser will take down an elk.
