When Bears Attack: Close Encounters of the Terrifying Kind

When Bears Attack: Close Encounters of the Terrifying Kind

A great collection of bear attack true stories for hikers, hunters, and all who venture into the outdoors.

Bears are one of natureâ€™s apex predators, gentle and fuzzy to watch from a distance, fierce and unpredictable when arousedÂ—and then itâ€™s too late for humans to escape a dangerous, fearsome, or fatal encounter. In this collection, we gather the most thrilling and frightening bear-attack stories of the past few decades. Grizzlies, brown bears, black bearsÂ—and their unfortunate encounters with humans. This is what happensÂ—When Bears Attack.

Joseph B. Healy takes a closer look at some of the notable bear attacks of recent history in order to determine their causes, evaluate what happened, and appreciate the raw powerÂ—and dangerÂ—of mother nature. He tells tales of hikers enjoying weekend camping trips as well as workers going about their daily routines. Follow along as the victimsâ€™ lives are disrupted by bears, and see how survivors were forced to think and act in the moment to stay alive.

As modern life continues to encroach on the wilderness, encounters between bears and humans will only increase. Learn about the outcome of these feral clashes in When Bears Attack.
