Deadly Grizzly Bear Attacks Shake Canada's National Parks

Two individuals, who were on a permitted hiking and camping trip in Banff National Park, Canada, were killed by a grizzly bear. There was no active bear warning at the time of the incident, and park officials found bear spray at the scene. The bear involved was not collared, tagged, or previously known to park staff. It was shot and killed by the response team. Bear sightings increase during autumn as they search for food before hibernation. Banff National Park is home to both grizzly and black bears, with approximately 60 grizzlies considered a threatened population in Alberta.
