for a grizzly story.
2; This is a terrifying paragraph: "A group of seven investigators, including Forest Service personnel and bear specialists, returned to the attack site on Friday to assess ongoing public safety risks and conduct an investigation. Before reaching the location of the mauling, a bear described as an "older-age male grizzly" began charging the group.
"Despite multiple attempts by all seven people to haze away the bear, it continued its charge. Due to this immediate safety risk, the bear was shot and died about 20 yards from the group," according to the news release."
Grizzlies almost always obey what's been termed the the 3-person-rule; that is, when encountering a group of people they almost never attack when there are 3 or more people. The brown bear who killed/ate Tim Treadwell and his girlfriend comes to mind (he charged the five people who came to investigate the kill site) Lone individuals and pairs are almost 100% the victims.
For this boar to charge a group of seven despite multiple attempts to haze him is extremely rare. This was one desperate bear. Can't imagine what might of happened if a group of anglers or tourists had encountered him.....
