Bear Attack in Mammoth Lakes

A black bear went on a shocking rampage in Mammoth Lakes, California, attacking a couple and their dogs—leading to serious injuries for the humans and the bear’s eventual euthanasia. The bear, which usually avoids people, charged after the dogs, prompting the owners to fight back—one wielding a hatchet. Wildlife officials are now investigating the cause, checking for rabies and conducting a necropsy, while urging residents to stay safe: leash pets, secure trash, and never approach or feed bears. If you encounter an aggressive bear, back away slowly—never run—and report it immediately. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
