And it is very unusual for a brown or black bear to attack an human. What might have happened was that it was a mother bear who felt her cubs in danger. Technically true however the quoted article describes it as "a large brown bear" but whether that was a big "Brown Bear" or a "Big Bear" that was brown" isn't explained. The species "Brown Bear" is described as "There is only one brown bear species, but there are many subspecies. Depending on where they live brown bears are also known as the Alaskan, Grizzly, European, Syrian, and Kodiak brown bear". -- Cheers, John B. |
