美国阿拉斯加州一名男子独自在河边骑自行车时，竟然遇到一头约226公斤重棕熊，凶猛棕熊一路追着跑甚至咬伤右腿，手无寸铁的他只能拼命对熊大吼大叫并用脚反击，没想到成功把熊击退，幸运在路边拦到车前往就医。
这名男子20日在坎特威尔(Cantwell)独自骑自行车时，发现距离约9至13米处有一只棕熊突然往他的方向冲过来，由于熊冲过来的速度太快，最后他只能跳下单车，开始朝着熊大吼大叫希望能吓跑，不过后来仍遭到攻击。
男子表示，他当时倒在地上用手护住脸，脚则是拼命踢向棕熊，熊可能因为被踢到就突然离开，后来回到森林中，他发现自己右腿膝盖以下被咬伤，带伤走到高速公路旁最后顺利上车离开。
阿拉斯加野生动物部队表示，受伤男子虽然身上有枪，但他完全没有拿出使用，在袭击事件发生前没有任何征兆，不过他曾在雪地中发现熊的足迹，提醒民众棕熊主动攻击人类的情况虽然十分少见，但每只熊的性情都不同，所以出外游玩时仍需要随时保持警惕。
Brown bear mauls bicyclist on Jack River near Cantwell

A man was mauled by a bear and injured near Cantwell this week, Alaska State Troopers said.
The man told troopers he had been riding his bike alone along the bed of the Jack River around 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, troopers wrote in an online report. He was about 400 yards from Mile 215 of the Parks Highway, troopers wrote.
“He reported seeing a brown bear 10-15 yards away, running towards him,” troopers wrote. “The victim stated that he jumped off his bicycle and began yelling at the bear.”
As the bear was getting close, the man got on the ground and covered his head to protect himself, said Joelle Hepler, the assistant area wildlife biologist in Glennallen for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. The man began kicking at the bear, and Hepler said the bear made contact with him, either by biting or using its claws.
The bear then quickly retreated in the direction it came from, troopers said.
The man walked to the highway to call a friend for a ride, troopers wrote. He was treated for puncture wounds and a laceration at the Healy Medical Clinic, according to troopers.
The man had noticed bear tracks in the snow earlier and believed the bear was alone when it attacked, troopers wrote. He had a gun but did not fire it.
The attack didn’t appear to be predatory, Hepler said.
“I would say that the bear was kind of triggered by the motion of the bike, that turned on its prey drive and he was curious,” she said.
Much of Southcentral Alaska saw snow early this season, but Hepler said it’s not unusual for bears to still be active this time of year. Bears generally begin hibernation in October and November.

游阿拉斯加遇到大棕熊 做对「这些事」全身而退

一群游客在阿拉斯加遇到一只大棕熊，他们当下保持冷静，没有尖叫或做出大动作，棕熊最后绕了一圈静静地离开。
44岁佛罗里达州房地产经纪人西西莉雅诺（Cara Siciliano）当时和另2对夫妇、1名水上飞机机长一起参观卡特迈国家公园和自然保护区（Katmai Park）。拍下影片的西西莉雅诺表示：「同行的机长说他在这条小路上走了1000次，但从没有见过这样的事情！」
西西莉雅诺提到：「我很惊讶我似乎没想像中害怕，我第一反应是仰望天空，确保上帝与我同在并祈祷，接着用手机拍下这段影片。」
这段30秒的影片拍到一只最大可重达700多公斤、275公分高的阿拉斯加棕熊，以及站在碎石路旁如雕像般不动声色的游客们。游客们都没有表现惊慌失措的神情，只有机长以平缓的声音对熊说：「嘿大男孩」、「嘿熊」，最后棕熊离开现场。
西西莉雅诺很惊讶机长跟熊的话语让他们全身而退，尤其是这只棕熊与他们相遇前，才刚跟另一只熊打完架因此发出沉重的喘息声。熊专家赞扬这群游客遵循了国家公园管理局的建议，没有尖叫或奔跑，缓慢移动，并用单调的声音说话，让牠知道人们在那里不会带来伤害。
Bear Pulls California Woman Out of Her Tent, Kills Her in Montana
Lokan was killed on the bear’s second visit to the site where she and two fellow bicyclists were camping near the post office, officials said.

A grizzly bear pulled a woman from her tent in a small Montana town in the middle of the night and killed her before fellow campers could use bear spray to force the bruin out of the area, wildlife officials said Wednesday.
Leah Davis Lokan, 65, of Chico, California, was on a long-distance bicycling trip and had stopped in the western Montana town of Ovando when she was killed early Tuesday, said Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks officials as they provided more details about the attack.
Lokan was killed on the bear’s second visit to the site where she and two fellow bicyclists were camping near the post office, officials said.
The approximately 400-pound grizzly first awakened the campers about 3 a.m., officials said. They took food out of their tents, secured it and went back to sleep, they said.
Surveillance video from a business in town showed the bear about a block from the post office about 15 minutes later, wildlife officials said.
About 4:15 a.m., the sheriff’s office received a 911 call after two people in a tent near the victim’s were awakened by sounds of the attack, Powell County Sheriff Gavin Roselles said. They discharged their bear spray, and the bear ran away.
The bear is also believed to have entered a chicken coop in town that night, killing and eating several chickens.
Officials searched by helicopter for the grizzly again Wednesday but couldn’t find it.
“At this point, our best chance for catching this bear will be culvert traps set in the area near the chicken coop where the bear killed and ate several chickens,” said Randy Arnold, Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks regional supervisor in Missoula.
The bear will be killed if it is found, said Greg Lemon, a spokesperson for Fish, Wildlife and Parks.
Investigators have obtained DNA from the bear at the scene of the attack and will be able to compare it with any bruin they are able to trap, the agency said.
Lokan, a registered nurse who had worked at a hospital in Chico, had looked forward to the Montana bike trip for months, said Mary Flowers, a friend of the victim’s from Chico. Lokan had taken previous long-distance bike trips and on this one was accompanied by her sister and a friend, Flowers said.
“She loved these kind of adventures. A woman in her 60s, and she’s dong this kind of stuff — she had a passion for life that was out of the ordinary,” Flowers said.
Grizzly bears have run into increasing conflict with humans in the Northern Rockies over the past decade as the federally protected animals expanded into new areas and the number of people living and recreating in the region grew. That has spurred calls from elected officials in Montana and neighboring Wyoming and Idaho to lift protections so the animals could be hunted.
Ovando, about 60 miles northwest of Helena, is a community of fewer than 100 people at the edge of the sprawling Bob Marshall wilderness.
North of Ovando lies an expanse of forests and mountains, including Glacier National Park that stretches to Canada and is home to an estimated 1,000 grizzlies. It’s the largest concentration of the bruins in the contiguous U.S.
Fatal attacks are rare in the region. There have been three in the last 20 years, including Tuesday’s mauling, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
In 2001, a hunter was killed by a grizzly with two cubs while he was gutting an elk at a wildlife management area west of Ovando. The three animals were shot and killed by wildlife officials days later.
Over the past 20 years, there have been eight fatal maulings of people by grizzlies from a separate population of about 700 bears in and around Yellowstone National Park. In April, a backcountry guide was killed by a grizzly bear while fishing along the park’s border in southwestern Montana.
Bears that attack people are not always killed if the mauling resulted from a surprise encounter or the bear was defending its young. But the bear involved in Lokan’s death is considered a public safety threat because of the circumstances of the attack, Lemon said.
