Fatal Bear Attack Claims Woman's Life in Montana
A female hiker was found dead in Montana after an apparent grizzly bear attack. Officials discovered wounds consistent with a bear attack near tracks from an adult grizzly bear and at least one cub. The Custer Gallatin National Forest temporarily closed due to bear safety concerns. This incident is part of a series of recent wildlife incidents in the western U.S., including a woman being gored by a bison in Yellowstone National Park. Researchers estimate that 8 people die each year from wildlife attacks in the U.S., emphasizing the importance of following safety guidelines when in bear territory.
