Conservation officers are investigating after a young girl was bitten by a bear on the North Shore.
NORTH VANCOUVER -- Conservation officers are investigating after a young girl was bitten by a bear in North Vancouver.
"The bear approached them and a member of the family. A young girl, 10 years old, got attacked by the bear," said Sgt. Simon Gravel. “She suffered a minor injury to the calf so she got bitten by the bear." He said the attack was unprovoked, adding “it’s very common in this area to encounter black bears. It’s not very common that they will approach you and start causing injuries, so that’s very rare.”"Obviously it’s a shocking experience when you get attacked by a bear. We wish them well and hope she’ll recover quickly," he said.
Seyed Alivi was fishing at Rice Lake when he turned to see a number of officers entering the area, telling them to leave.Others were taken aback too, like Stephen Kaye who was cycling in the trails.
