“Investigation: Fatal björnattack could not be prevented”
“Last year, killed a grizzly bear of a mother and her ten-month-old daughter in north-west Canada. Now shows the state investigation that the bear desperately searched for food, and that it was damaged, writes The Guardian.”
“the Attack happened near her family’s cabin in the Yukonterritoriet in november. The bear was an 18 year old male who was severely emaciated and lacked the necessary fat deposits as the animal needs to go in the ide.”
“– the Bear had started to look for the unusual matkällor and had pains from having eaten a porcupine, says the territory’s director Gordon Hitchcock reporters.”
“the Spikes had pierced a hole in the bear’s stomach and probably caused the severe pain.”
“It should have been the sight of the mother and the daughter, after having followed the tracks in the snow.”
“– the Attack seems to have occurred suddenly. All the evidence suggests that she had not had time to react, ” says Hitchcock.”
“When the woman’s husband came back to the cottage went on the grizzly to attack him also, but he managed to kill the bear with four shots. Shortly thereafter, he found wife and daughter. An autopsy shows that he died almost immediately after the attack.”
“Authorities have praised the family’s approach to safety in that they are not stored food in the vicinity of the cottage, and took other measures. The authorities indicate also that björnattacker is extremely unusual.”
