16 - Too Much to Bear
from When Animals Attack Podcast Hosted by Jen & Nilo
In episode 16, Jen and Nilo swap stories of black bear attacks in Alaska, India, and elsewhere around the world, and discuss the most realistic animal attack ever to appear on screen, from the 2015 survival horror film Backcountry. Along the way, they also explain how to differentiate between brown and black bears, and share some tips for how to survive (and avoid!) defensive vs. predatory bear attacks, so that you can stay safe in bear country. --- Sources: https://www.player.one/backcountry-director-adam-macdonald-explains-why-black-bears-make-better-horror-424762?amp=1 http://collider.com/adam-macdonald-backcountry-interview/amp/ https://www.outsideonline.com/1962221/how-survive-black-bear-attack https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/03/11/movies/15bearsfeature.html https://www.thestar.com/news/2007/05/24/a_hero_with_one_big_regret.html https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/husbands-heroic-efforts-couldnt-save-mauled-wife/article18247282/ https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/black-bear-kills-woman-camper-north-of-chapleau-ont-1.556281 https://relay.nationalgeographic.com/proxy/distribution/public/amp/2017/06/black-bear-attacks-human-wildlife-conflict-alaska https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/man-bear-selfie-video-mauled-death-selfies-india-odisha-asia-a8335806.html https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5912895/Man-mauled-bear-attacks-killing-couple-India-mob-beat-death.html Gordon Grice, The Book of Deadly Animals Stephen Herrero, Bear Attacks: Their Causes and Avoidance Larry Kaniuk, Alaska Bear Tales
