Florida hiker fatally mauled during Glacier National Park sunset trek

An experienced Florida hiker, 33-year-old Anthony Pollio, vanished during a sunset hike on Glacier National Park’s Mt. Brown Trail and was later found dead with injuries consistent with a bear attack; a bear spray canister was recovered at the scene and pollio’s identity was confirmed by his family. He had been aiming to reach a fire lookout tower to watch the sunset. Glacier’s Bear Management Plan euthanizes bears that pose a danger, and the last fatal bear attack in the park was in 1998, with another bear-related injury reported near Yellowstone earlier this week.

Two Soldiers Injured by Brown Bear During Alaska Training Exercise

Both soldiers carried bear spray and are receiving medical care; investigators say the attack was likely defensive after the bear emerged from a den, but the bear has not been located and details of injuries are not yet released as the investigation continues.

Oldest Suspected Bear Attack on a Human Revealed in 27,000-Year-Old Italian Grave

Oldest Suspected Bear Attack on a Human Revealed in 27,000-Year-Old Italian Grave

New analysis of the 27,900–27,300-year-old skeleton nicknamed “Il Principe” from Arene Candide Cave in Liguria, Italy, strengthens the case that he was mauled by a large carnivore—likely a bear—based on perimortem injuries to the jaw and shoulder, plus teeth and possible neck fractures. The pattern, including a linear marking on the parietal bone and a fibula puncture, supports animal mauling as the most plausible death cause. If confirmed, this would mark the oldest known fatal bear attack on a modern human and would tie the violent event to an elaborate Gravettian burial, suggesting exceptional status for the individual.

Ancient Italian teen fell to a bear 28,000 years ago, new bone analysis confirms

A Paleolithic teen buried in the Arene Candide cave in Liguria, Italy, has been identified as Il Principe. Microscopic and 3D analyses show massive shoulder and facial trauma at death, consistent with a bear attack (likely brown or cave bear), with bone healing indicating the teen survived the mauling for up to three days. The well-preserved grave goods—a shell headdress, shells and teeth, and a flint blade—mark a formal burial, and the individual lived about 28,000 years ago at age 14–17. This find sheds light on dangerous encounters with megafauna and ritual treatment of exceptional burials in Late Paleolithic hunter‑gatherer communities.

Multiple Hikers Hospitalized After Grizzly Bear Attacks in Canada

Two hikers in British Columbia, Canada, were hospitalized after an encounter with a grizzly bear and her two cubs on a trail. The bear's actions were deemed defensive, and no action was taken against the bears. The trail remains closed, and authorities advise hikers to stay alert, make noise, travel in groups, and carry bear spray to prevent such incidents.
