In Banff National Park, Canada, a grizzly bear attacked a tourist. Two people died, a husband and wife. Their dog also died. The bear that caused the accident was later killed by park rangers.
Initially, the name of the deceased was not revealed. But a family member came out to give information about it. The two loved outdoor activities and always stuck together. “They live in the countryside and are some of the most cautious people I know. They know the rules when confronting a bear and they have always followed them.

A rare phenomenon of water currents in the shape of fish scales has occurred in China.
According to family members, this couple will report every day while at the park. They last reported Friday (September 29) at 5:00 p.m., when they said they had safely arrived at their campsite in the Red Deer River Valley.
Later that night, park rangers were notified of an emergency via satellite device requesting assistance from a bear attack. A team of expert officers was immediately dispatched. But due to unfavorable weather conditions makes it impossible to use helicopters. Therefore, assistance was delayed.
The team hiked through the night and arrived at the camp around 1 a.m. on Saturday (September 30) to find the couple and their dog dead as a result of the encounter with the bears.
The Canadian Parks Service states that the bear was displaying aggressive behavior. Therefore, he was killed by park officials in order to preserve public safety. Then the body of the deceased was recovered. To pass it on to the next family
“This is a tragic event. The Canadian National Park Service extends its deepest condolences to the family and friends of the victims,” the agency said.
An incident of a bear attacking a person to death in Banff National Park. This is the first time in nearly 50 years, and the last time in the 1980s, that a Whiskey Creek black bear has exploded, injuring multiple people. And one death
Experts say that usually if a bear attacks in self-defense, or is startled by humans they usually leave the area immediately. But when the zookeeper team arrived it was found that the bear was still with the prey. This means that this may be a rare predator attack.
Biologists will dissect the bear’s carcass. The Canadian Parks Service will then complete a forensic investigation of the area. To determine what may have happened to the victim
In the fall, bears go into a state called “hyperphagia” and increase appetite before hibernating. It’s their last attempt to store enough energy and fat before winter, said Kim Titchener, a family friend of the victim and founder of Bear Safety and More.
“They’ll try to eat as much as they can and stay active in the fall. Sometimes people might think, ‘It’s getting cold. We won’t see bears.’ But they were still in the valley. “You’ll definitely find them,” Titchener said.
He added that although the season has an impact on bear behavior, the number of people who flock to the park is the most important factor in increasing encounters between humans and bears.
“There are only 60 grizzly bears in Banff and less than 1,000 in Alberta. They are a threatened species. People say we have too many grizzly bears,” Titchener said. “No, we have too many people.” Additionally, most people who head to the park don’t take a safety course if they encounter a bear.
“Half of the people who get attacked by bears often do risky things or don’t have the right equipment but sometimes it’s just a matter of bad luck, or being in the wrong place at the wrong time,” Titchener said.
