Heroic Husband Fends Off Polar Bear to Save Wife in Ontario

In Fort Severn First Nation, Ontario, a man sustained serious injuries after jumping on a polar bear to protect his wife from an attack. The bear, which was later shot by a neighbor, retreated and died in the woods. The incident highlights the increasing encounters between humans and polar bears, attributed to climate change driving bears inland in search of food. Experts advise against playing dead during such attacks, recommending fighting back instead.
