21-year-old woman survives bear attack while planting trees in Canada
A 21-year-old woman was seriously injured in a bear attack while planting trees near Bearhole Lake Provincial Park in British Columbia, Canada. The bear first bluff-charged before attacking the victim, who was eventually rescued by a coworker. The woman was airlifted to a hospital and is now in stable condition. While bear-human conflicts are relatively rare, there has been an increase in calls about predatory grizzly bear attacks in recent years. Authorities are urging the public to take precautions, such as carrying bear spray and traveling in groups, to prevent wildlife encounters.
