The officials in a Canadian national park were amazed. A hiker had drawn her attention to a dead grizzly bear. But it wasn’t a hunter who killed him.
Forest rangers in Canada had to work as detectives: The task was to find out the death of a bear that had been found lifeless by hikers in early September. The investigation reveals that an animal was responsible for the death of the she-bear. According to a report by the broadcaster CBC, the animal was discovered in British Columbia in Yoho National Park. The autopsy found wounds on the neck and under the arms. It is very likely that these came from a horn like the mountain goats in the region.
The holes in the bear’s skin are consistent with the attack behavior of bears and the defense of goats. It is rare that both animals collide violently. The goat had another advantage: while the female bear weighed 70 kilograms, she can weigh up to 130 kilograms.
