A local man bravely jumped onto a polar bear to protect his wife during an attack in Fort Severn, sustaining serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
The incident highlights the increasing danger posed by polar bears to humans, especially as climate change alters their natural habitat and food sources.
Polar Bears International stated that attacks are rare and typically involve bears that are young, hungry, or unwell, but they may become more common with climate changes.
McCall advised that if attacked, people should not play dead but instead fight back, countering common myths about handling bear encounters.
