According to the United States Wildlife Administration, on Tuesday (13 October), a woman from Montana was attacked by a bear and bitten in the head while walking near Yellowstone National Park. The woman's dog, in turn, courageously protected the master and returned to the injured master after struggling to run the bear.
According to Reuters, on 13 October, the spokesman for the Wildlife and Park Office in Montana (Andrea Jones) stated that the woman was suddenly attacked by a bear on Monday afternoon, local time, walking with a pet dog at Yellowstone River, 30 minutes north of Yellowstone. The bear bit the woman ' s head and fled, not by himself, but by the dog.
When she was injured, she called for help aloud and was taken to a hospital in Livingston, Montana, where she was discharged after treating her head wound.
In recent days, hunting supervisors in Montana State have been told that a grizzly bear roams the river, preying on fish, and that the wildlife park has temporarily closed its fishing grounds. At present, it is not clear to the authorities whether the attack was carried out by black bears or larger grizzly bears.
The injured woman told the guard that her dog had felt something before the bear appeared from the riverside woods. Jones said, "She said that before she was attacked by a bear, the hair behind the dog was raised."
Jones said the dog might be back with the master after driving the bear away.
Recently, several bear attacks took place in the northern parts of the Loren Mountains. The drought in parts of Idaho, Montana and Wyoming led to a reduction in wild foods, during which bears were unable to find food such as berries at low altitude. They encounter people and clash.
According to wildlife experts, black and grizzly bears need to store enough fat before hibernation.
On 27 September, an elderly woman in Montana was attacked by a bear while she was feeding the bear at home with bird food and small rice.
On the same day, hunters in south-eastern Idaho reported minor injuries to the Black Bear. Less than a week later, hunters in Idaho again reported that they had been attacked by black bears in a hunting camp in the mountains of central eastern Idaho.
