Bear Encounter in South Anchorage | Anchorage News

A woman narrowly escaped a brown bear attack on a trail in South Anchorage last Saturday evening, thanks to quick thinking and drone footage that captured the bear in the brush. Though she suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was treated at the hospital, officials are monitoring the situation — especially since weather conditions may have heightened the bear’s alertness. The bear vanished quickly after the encounter, but this incident serves as a sobering reminder: even in urban areas, wildlife is still around — stay alert and prepared when hitting the trails.
