Bears killed that mother and daughter in western Canada

Research confirms that a mother bear and her three cubs were involved in the attack near Bella Coola, resulting in two fatalities. The victims, Jenny and her daughter Selah, encountered the bears while walking on a trail. Wildlife officials noted the bears exhibited unusual predatory behavior, which is rare in fatal grizzly bear attacks. No explanation for this behavior was provided. Last November, a bear attacked a school group in the same area, injuring eleven people, but DNA tests showed the mother bear and her cubs were not involved. Grizzly bears may become more aggressive this time of year as they build fat reserves for hibernation.
