In this video, we'll be discussing the recent shocking deaths caused by bears in the United States and Canada. Now, there have been many fatal bear attacks in North America involving hikers, hunters, and campers caused by brown bear, the American black bear, and the polar bear. Brown bear, more commonly called grizzly bear incidents, have occurred in their native range spanning Alaska, Northern and Western Canada, and portions of the Rocky Mountains in the United States. The locations of black bear wilderness fatal attacks reflect their wider range. The bears held captive by animal trainers in zoos, carnivals, or captains pets even,

1:01have been responsible for several attacks. There have also been unusual cases in which a person entered a bear's cage and was then mauled. At least bear attacks are for predatory, territorial, or protective reasons. Scientists studying grizzlies in and around the Grand Teton National Park in the US have calculated that these animals can smell a carcass from at least four miles away. Grizzlies outside Alaska have been federally protected as a threat in species since 1975, after being almost completely exterminated by trappers and hunters early in the last century. So don't underestimate these beautiful, but deadly animals. During January 2020, up to May 2021, there have been seven bear fatalities in North America's wilderness. Never run from a bear and stay together if you're hiking in a group. Carry bear spray and know how to use it. Here's some fatalities involving bears. Let's begin. Dr. David Lertzman, May 4th, 2021,

2:04Wipers, Alberta, Canada. Dr. Lertzman, 59, a senior instructor at the University of Calgary, was killed on Tuesday, May 4th, 2021, in a bear attack, while out trail running on the moss trail near Wipers Creek, close to his home in Wipers, Alberta, northwest of Calgary. David worked in the field of sustainability, leadership development, and reconciliation with indigenous peoples. It was a long-term martial arts practitioner, Kigong, and meditation instructor. Cochran RCMP was notified of a missing person just before midnight, when David's wife called to say he had gone for run about 6 p.m., and had not returned. The search was then launched involving a helicopter in a police dog. Just after 2 a.m. the next morning, he was found dead just off the moss trail. David had led a wilderness retreat since 2004, described as a week-long leadership immersive experience in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains that has been transformational for many Haskenny School of Business students.

3:05College of Know, Official Wildlife Inspector, said this can be a dangerous time of year in terms of human and wildlife conflict. It's springtime, we all know in this area, bears are plentiful. Grizzly bears and black bears, the spring is especially dangerous. They're hungry, they're out of the din, they're wandering to where they had food last fall. Capturing the bear, relocating, utilizing, all the options will be weighed out, but it's too early to tell what we're dealing with. Is it a male bear? Is it a female bear with cubs? All of those things we refer back to our matrix and consult with our biologists and make the appropriate decisions then. David's wife Sarah said the bear attacked him from behind sending him over his deep embankment. He was attacked by a bear from behind and pushed off a very high embankment and was found near the river. The wounds were consistent with an instantaneous death so he suffered very little. This was important for me to know. Sarah went on to say she had searched for David by herself for two hours of the night he disappeared

4:07and walked right past the point of attack and saw no sign of it. I was looking for a man in trouble, she says, and not for a scene of something that had happened. By three in the morning, we knew he was no longer with us and that it had been a bear attack. Next, Laney Malovolta, April 30th, 2021, Durango, Colorado. Laney Malovolta, 39, died in an apparent black bear attack, just the fourth fatal mulling in the state since they started keeping records in 1960. On Friday, April 30th, 2021, Laney was found near Durango, about 350 miles southwest of Denver. She was a lifelong adventure and lover of the outdoors according to her boyfriend. Laney spent her life in the outdoors and was an experienced and knowledgeable operator in the backcountry. Her greatest joy was to be in the woods with her friends, our family and her dogs. Her boyfriend told police he arrived home around 8.30 pm and found the couple's two dogs outside

5:07and his girlfriend missing. He searched the trail on private land where she frequently walked the dogs and notified authorities after discovering her body. The authorities found bear fur, scat and signs of consumption on the body. Using tracking dogs, wildlife officers located 10 year old saline or two yearlings nearby and killed the three bears out of the abundance of caution. The bear carcasses were transported to the state wildlife laboratory, born in the Cropsees and DNA samples were sent to forensic laboratory in Wyoming. Colorado's hometown estimated 19,000 black bear was only three other fatal bear tax on humans since 1960. The cause of death according to the Laplata County corner was perforating injury to the neck. Jason Clay, a spokesman for Colorado Parks and Wildlife said there was consumption on the body and there was a lot of bear sign in the area. The Cropsees showed that the saline, which is the mother bear, had human remains in the digestive tract and one of the two yearlings also had human remains.

6:07A third one, another of the yearlings did not have human remains in their digestive tract. Next, Charles Mock, April 15, 2021, Madison River, West Yellowstone, Montana. Charles Carl Mock, 40. Montana, backcountry guide at backcountry adventures which provides snowmobile rentals and tours in Yellowstone National Park and surrounding areas, died of scopp and facial wounds after managing to call 911 for help after being attacked by grizzly bear outside Yellowstone National Park. Carl lived in the park gateway community of West Yellowstone and died on Saturday, April 17. Two days after he was attacked while fishing alone in a forested area along the Madison River, several miles north of West Yellowstone. The male bear, which weighed at least 420 pounds, was probably defending a nearby moscarcus. It was later shot and killed when it charged wildlife workers investigating the attack. Several people fired at the animal and it died about 20 yards from the group.

7:09Officials said they were confident the bear that was killed was the one that attacked Carl. The moscarcus was found about 50 yards from the side of the attack, according to Morgan Jacobson, a Montana fish wildlife and park spokesman. Carl was found after searches looked for him for about 50 minutes. He was transported by toboggan and snowmobile to an ambulance before being taken to hospital in the city of Idaho Falls where he passed away. The residue from bear spray was found on his clothing, but officials could not determine to what extent he was able to use it against the attacking bear. The Yellowstone region of Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming is home to more than 700 bears. Battle attacks on humans aren't relatively rare, but having increased as the grizzly population grows and more people move into rural areas near bear habitat. Since 2010, grizzlies in the Yellowstone region have killed eight people, including Carl. Three of those people who died were inside the park. The last death before Carl's was in 2018,

8:09when a hunting guide in his client were attacked in Wyoming and the guide was killed. Next, Austin 5. Drew McIntyre here from WWE. Wheeled in the Claymore can be a life of chaos.

Jacana River drainage, Wrangles St. and Lies National Park and Preserve Alaska. Austin Fiverr, 22 from Belville, Ohio was attacked by a bear while packing moose meat from a kill site to a camp in an extremely remote corner of Central Alaska, only about 25 miles west of the Canadian border.

9:12Austin and a hunting friend killed a moose laid on Saturday, September 19th, 2020, dressed it out and returned to camp. The plan was to haul the meat out on their backs to a favorable location for a small plane from a local air taxi to land and pick them up. Park Service spokesman Peter Christian said the moose kill was about a half mile from where Austin and his friend were camped and the preserve portion of the seldom visited, 13.2 million acre Wrangles St. and Lies National Park and Preserve, the largest nature reserve in the country. When the park was created by the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980, 4.9 million acres were designated as preserve to allow hunting to continue in areas where it was traditionally established. Park Service Daddett records fear than 75,000 people visited the park in 2019 and nearly all of that visitation took place along the Nabezna Road, which goes 42 miles into the north edge of the park and the McCarthy Road, which penetrates about 60 miles into the south side of the park.

10:14It is not unusual for kill sites to attract bears in Alaska and experiencing Alaska and hunters are well aware of the danger this presents. Janice Maslin, a concessions manager specialist for Wrangles St. and Lies who conferred with rangers who visited the scene, said that they saw indications the bear tried to cache part of the moose, but they could not tell when that happened. Grizzly bears typically try to cover their food with brush, dirt and other material to protect it from scavengers. Whether or not this bear had found the carcass overnight and started trying to cache it, the bear was not on the carcass when the two hunters arrived at it the morning after they shot the animal. They started the process of butchering the moose and preparing it to haul back the camp. Austin's partner left the site with the first load of meat and what happened next is unknown. As Austin's companion was returning from their campsite to the site of the moose kill to get another load of meat, he encountered the bear and was charged. He got within 50 yards or so the kill site and was charged by a bear.

11:14He shot in the direction of the bear several times, the bear got within 20 feet, appeared to flinch and then it veered and ran off. He continued on to the kill site and found Austin's body, the bear was not seen again. Rangers reported no indications that it had been hit by the gunfire. After finding Austin Deb, this partner returned to camp to call the air taxi that had flown them in into the area. The air taxi then notified the park service and Alaska wildlife troopers of the attack and they later flew to the scene. Maslin said Austin was found at the harvest site. He did not have a pack on at the time his body was discovered by his hunting partner or when the NPS recovered his body. The bear were in the process of loading game bags and transporting them back to camp. Austin had his rifle with him but it was apparently not within reach when the bear attacked. How close the bear got before Austin spotted will never be known. The vegetation in the area of the attack was described by the park service as dense.

12:14It is possible the bear was on Austin almost as soon as he spotted it. Bear attacks on hunters packing or cutting meat are extremely rare though. These hunters didn't do anything wrong in my opinion, said Christian, a veteran in Alaska and Hunter himself and one time Ranger in the Wrangles saying the life's national park. There's a lot of different ways Alaska tries to kill you. After studying 135 years of human versus bearing counters in Alaska from 1880 to 2015, researchers Tom Smith, a pregnant young university professor and noted Canadian bear expert Stephen Herrero found only 62 deaths. They also noted that most of the people attacked my bears over these 135 years survived. Our crangers found the evidence that the bear remained in the area and all meat from the moose was salvaged as required must ate of Alaska hunting regulations. Austin was the first person to have been reported killed by bear in the park since 1980

13:15and several people have gone missing in the park never to be found. Next, Stephanie Blaise, August 20th, 2020, McKee Lake, Saskatchewan, Canada. Stephanie Blaise, 44, was talking with her father, Hubert Eskerot, on the phone on August 20th, 2020, can discuss a broken water pump outside the family's cabin in Saskatchewan. At the time, Stephanie was visiting McKee Lake with her husband Curtis and their nine-year-old son and two-year-old daughter. Hubert said, her son that was beside her, she ordered him to go to the house and get the antenna for the satellite phone so she could get a better connection, a better signal. Eskerot then heard what sounded like a gurgling noise coming from his daughters into the line. He called her name but received no answer. I called back and let it ring four minutes later and I got no response, he says. And seven minutes later, Curtis called me and said that the bear had attacked Stephanie.

14:17He pepper sprayed the bear, shot the bear twice, attended the Stephanie gave her CPR but by that time she had no pulse. The unprovoked and somewhat surprising predatory attack involved an older male black bear. Stephanie's death was the first resulting from a bear attack in Saskatchewan since 1983. Daniel Schilling, July 29th, 2020. Turn again, Alaska. On July 29th, 2020, Daniel Schilling was clearing a trail about a mile behind his cabin and turned again in Alaska when a brown bear attacked him and killed him. The trail where he was at work was only about 25 air miles southeast of Anchorage and only a couple miles off a paved road that connects the community of Hope to the Seward Valley. Daniel was alone at the time and the case is a confusing one in that DNA evidence later linked both a grizzly bear and a black bear to Daniel's body.

15:18Alaska Department of Fish and Game Officials believed the grizzly bear killed him and the black bear then fed on his carcass but it remains possible the grizzly preyed on him as well. Evidence found at the scene of that attack indicated Daniel tried to defend himself with bear spray. An empty canister was found about 15 feet away from his body and state wildlife biologist to arrive on the scene to investigate his death so they could still smell the pepper spray in the air. Cindy Wardlow, Alaska Department of Fish and Game Regional Supervisor said a bear spray canister was found at the attack site during the investigation. It was empty when it was located. A friend of Daniel said that he was carrying a hand gun as well with that report as not beneficial confirmed. If the gun was in his backpack, it would have been of no use. If it was holstered, it would appear he never got a chance to use it before the bear killed him. Daniel, like Austin, was in dense vegetation when attacked and in such situations, there's not much time

16:18between what a bear is seen and when it is on you. Daniel was in a far less remote area than Fiverr but the area has mini bear with a healthy population of both grizzly and light bears. Finally, Peter Franzack, July 20th, 2020, Red Lake, Ontario, Canada. 67-year-old Peter Franzack of Red Lake had left his home on the morning of July 20th, 2020 to pick blueberries on Tussic Road off Highway 105 in Ontario, Canada. The area was between the township of earfalls and the municipality of Red Lake. OPP began a search for the man when he didn't return home as scheduled and found his remains. The OPP also located a black bear in the vicinity of the deceased and it was killed by the officers. Post-mortem examination of Peter conducted in Toronto on July 24th, determined that the cause of death was indeed a bear attack. Well, there you have it.

17:20Just one of the many dangers that can await you in the great outdoors. If you're in an area that's heavily populated with bear, be safe, stay alert, carry bear spray. As we said before, don't run if you're part of a group, stay together. Sometimes making noise or assailing the bear with rocks will cause it to run away. Whatever you do, stay safe in the national parks. Enjoy your time in the great outdoors, but live to tell the tale. Thank you for listening. I look forward to reading your comments, but we do ask that you show respect to the victims and the opinions of others. Until we meet again, be good to yourselves and each other. I'm Steve Stockton, and I'll talk to you next time.
