A black bear killed a Minnesota woman on a secluded island in Canadian waters in an attack that experts call extremely rare.
The bear is being sent for testing at the University of Guelph, and a necropsy — an animal autopsy — will be performed to help determine if there were any physical reasons for the bear's abnormal behavior, Maimoona Dinani, a media relations officer for the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, said in a statement. No one witnessed the attack, Dinani said.
Minnesota wildlife biologist Andy Tri says a predatory attack by a black bear is"beyond extremely rare." Black bears tend to be timid around people, Garshelis said."They're very unaggressive bears," he said."If you ever approach a black bear closely, typically they'll see you and run off."
