A brown bear attacked and seriously injured a nine-year-old boy in Alaska on Tuesday. The child was hunting moose with a relative when they encountered the mother bear and her cub.
The predator probably feared a danger to the offspring and immediately attacked. The nine-year-old was seriously injured in the attack. The 41-year-old companion tried to protect the child – he managed to shoot the brown bear. He himself was slightly injured.
The man and child have been taken to hospital and the boy is now in stable condition.
Bear child is threatened with death
The gamekeepers are now looking for the bear cub. If the animal is found, it will be killed, according to a spokesperson because the bear is probably too old to grow up in captivity.
