Doesn’t that make 3 in the last 2 weeks? 1 mauled by a bear and 2 more attacked by buffalo? Maybe stay away from the wildlife at Yellowstone?
The hiker was believed to be alone during the encounter, and no bear spray or firearms were found at the scene.
In other words she wasn’t following even the most basic, simple guidelines for hiking in the woods, let alone in a national park known for its wildlife.
Visitors should be required to sit for a half hour “common sense” information video before entering the parks.
This is why I stay inside. The wildlife can have the great outdoors.
In that place built on land that used to be great outdoors.

Next time, just give it your pic-a-nic basket.
Why doesn’t it say “Woman killed by grizzly bear”? This way it sounds like the two events are unrelated.
Because that is how it was communicated to the reporters, and editorializing would be irresponsible.
Though the department’s statement said the death appeared to have followed the woman’s interaction with the bear, it did not confirm her cause of death.
But they did say “The department said the investigation into the grizzly attack was ongoing”, so there was an attack.
Still, better to wait for the official word, even when it appears obvious.
