Heroic Husband Recovers After Defending Wife from Polar Bear Attack

A Canadian man is recovering from severe injuries after leaping onto a polar bear to protect his wife in Fort Severn First Nation. The bear, which attacked the couple in their driveway, was later shot by a neighbor. Experts warn that changing environmental conditions may increase human-polar bear encounters, as bears become more unpredictable when stranded on land without sufficient sea ice for hunting. This incident highlights the growing risks for communities near polar bear habitats as climate change affects sea ice formation.
