北卡罗莱纳州一只母熊自2017年起,就常到当地一名男子康利(Patrick Conley)后院拜访。康利将母熊命名为西蒙(Simone),称西蒙是只喜欢与人交互、友善的熊。日前西蒙的到访跟以往很不同,因为牠那次带了2个熊宝宝来跟康利「拜码头」。


OMG! BEAR SIMONE BROUGHT HER CUBS!
May 2, 2021

First visit this year by your favorite girl, Simone! AND YES, SHE BROUGHT HER FIRST EVER LITTER OF CUBS!!!!

The collar is gone – nice! – and she looks well-fed. The cubs are the cutest things to ever have walked these woods, but then I’m kind of biased.

Being that it’s her first litter I tried my best not to spook her or the little ones. She seemed pretty comfortable with the proximity so I’m guessing we’ll be seeing her again soon.

For those of you with questions regarding Asheville’s rather unique bear situation the following article from November 2019 in The Wall Street Journal will provide many answers.



康利看到西蒙带着宝宝来到他的前阳台,在那里等康利,在前阳台稍事停留后就转身走回树林。

康利表示,这是西蒙的第一胎,他尽量不要吓到她或小熊。而西蒙看起来很怡然自得,康利认为「应该很快就会再见到牠们」。

网友对母子熊可爱身复印象深刻,纷纷表示:「熊妈妈看起来很骄傲,你可以看到牠不断确认孩子状况无恙。宝宝真漂亮!」、「熊很聪明表现很好,还带着宝宝来找你,表示很信任你」、「牠好像在跟宝宝说:『你们看,这是一个人。当你走过他时,他会发出搞笑的声音,但他和我们一样害怕。如果我们遵守人与熊的约定,他可能会给我们一些好康。」

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.

This July 6, 2011, file photo shows a grizzly bear roaming near Beaver Lake in Yellowstone National Park, Wyo.

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.
