Alaska's Denali National Park recently witnessed the killing of
a hiker by a grizzly bear. Apparently, this incident is the
first of its kind in the park's history, meaning that although
accidents involving bears have occurred in the past, this is the
first time when a man ends up losing his life. Sources claim
that the hiker – whose name has not yet been disclosed by
authorities – set out to explore the wilderness all by himself,
and having come across a grizzly bear decided to spend some time
photographing it. Because the hiker got too close to the animal,
the latter decided to fight back. Apparently, the bear did not
display any signs of aggressive behavior prior to the attack.
Following this incident, a male grizzly bear thought to have
been responsible for killing the hiker was shot dead by park
authorities. An analysis of the bear's stomach is soon to
follow, and hopefully this will prove whether or not the animal
killed by rangers was in fact the one responsible for the
hiker's losing his life in this
