Bears

A higher-than-usual number of bear attacks have been reported in recent months, with typical estimates putting their odds at 1 in 2.7 million.

The homeowner said the bear, whom he calls Bourbon, "comes every night. He has knocked this camera down three times and put it in his mouth. IT STILL WORKS!"

The bear laid waste to the vehicle parked outside a cabin in Tennessee. The car's owner found claw marks inside the vehicle following the attack.

The bear did not seem fazed when officers tried to use a stun gun on the animal.

The U.S. National Park Services advises that while bear attacks rare, "attacks on humans have occurred, inflicting serious injuries and death."

One TikTok user commented under the post: "HOW DID THIS HAPPEN".

Officials said the same bear had already found its way into three different homes on previous occasions.

"It was very cool," the homeowner said of what he thinks was courting. "This camera had only been up a few days when this happened, so hopefully more to come."

"Keep telling renters they can't keep car doors unlocked for 15 minutes because bears are attracted to smells," said the owner of the house where it took place.

The man was attacked by a mother bear with two cubs during a hunting expedition, and shot her to escape.

The latest incident, filmed and posted to Instagram, shows a man running up to a bear and growling at it.

The bear made its way into the bakery via the garage, scaring off employees, who barricaded themselves inside the kitchen as the bear munched on their cakes.

The man had shot the bear on Tuesday night, after it harassed his chickens, and again on Wednesday morning, after which the bear attacked him.

New Mexico Game and Fish authorities were called out to capture the bear, but it disappeared before they found it.

A short clip of a huge black creature has resurfaced, fueling claims about "dire wolves" or "Manbearpig" roaming North American forests.

Officers observed the bear as it walked towards an open business, to the concern of onlookers.

The homeowner was left stunned when he saw the footage. "We were in disbelief," he said. "This was a very big bear."

A Massachusetts homeowner was "surprised" to see the bear on camera furiously devouring the contents of his bird feeder.

"Time to bring the bird feeder in," the homeowner, Gina, said.

The local council in Japan, where the incident took place, issued an urgent warning about bear safety after the "haunting" incident

Viewers of a viral video have been able to empathize with groggy-looking Himalayan brown bear Chada as she starts the day in a sanctuary in Ukraine.

The hunter said that he had shot the bear thinking it was a black bear, as the day of the incident was the first day of black bear hunting season.

The Colorado bear stood on an ice box so that it could reach inside the truck to grab the food hamper.

Officials for Colorado Parks and Wildlife released a statement Friday reminding residents to be "bear aware," as black bears emerge from hibernation.

"Some may view her as a celebrity, to others, she is a nuisance," an official at the Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson military base in Anchorage told Newsweek.

"That bear can't die in vain. The outcry over this bear being killed is strong," said local photographer Amy Gerber, who saw the scene near Cody, Wyoming.

The bear had likely just come out of hibernation and was on the hunt for some quick food, perhaps having sniffed out some trash inside the car.

"I had no idea that they could smell pop through cans and even if they could, I had no idea they would want to drink 69 of them," Sharon Rosel told Newsweek.

"I'll have to remove my little bear welcome sign," Bonnie McKenzie said. "I don't want it to bring its buddies here!"

"Mother bear departed and returned several times, [and] at one point all three had a lengthy sleep in my tree," Tom McClelland said.
