A 73-year-old woman was hospitalized after being attacked by a bear in the Flathead National Forest, west of Glacier National Park and near the U.S.-Canadian border. The woman, her husband, and their dog encountered the bear while hiking, and her husband used bear spray to deter the bear. The woman was flown to a hospital in Kalispell for treatment, and her condition is unknown. The area is currently closed while the investigation continues. This incident occurred just days after a grizzly bear attack in Banff National Park, Alberta, where a Canadian couple and their dog were killed.

"Pika Quest: Exploring Glacier National Park's Hay Piles and Pellets"

Researchers and citizen science volunteers are teaming up to study the population of pikas in Glacier National Park, as the tiny rabbit-like creatures are losing habitat due to climate change. Volunteers collect and catalog pika pellets, which contain skin cells that will be analyzed for DNA to understand genetic connectivity and movement patterns. The study aims to assess changes in population density and identify key connectivity corridors to mitigate declining isolated populations. Early signs suggest that pikas are doing well in the park, but a full genetic map will not be available until the study concludes next year.

Tragic End for Grizzly Bear in Glacier National Park

A five-year-old female grizzly bear in Glacier National Park was euthanized after exhibiting increasingly aggressive behavior due to receiving multiple food rewards from unsecured sources. The bear had obtained unsecured human food from a campsite picnic table and aggressively charged a family picnicking on the shoreline. This is the first food-conditioned grizzly bear to be euthanized in the park since 2009. Park visitors are urged to take steps to prevent bears from becoming food conditioned and to report all bear sightings to the nearest ranger.
