"Dying Bear Kills Russian Hunter That Shot It by Crushing His Skull" Robyn White - 7h ago
The 62-year-old hunter had attempted to kill the bear from a platform in the Tulun district of the Irkutsk region of Russia, shortly before the animal turned on him, Russian news agency Interfax reported.
As the hunter came down from the platform, the bear crushed the unnamed man's skull, and began clawing at him.
Having been declared missing, the hunter's bloodied corpse was found after a search party patrolled the forest.
He was discovered with claw and fang wounds. The bear's carcass was found about 54 yards away from the man.
"The mortally wounded predator managed to inflict an injury from which the hunter died," the regional office of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs told Interfax.
There are an estimated 13,000 wild bears in the Irkutsk region.
Between 1991–2017, there were 264 recorded bear attacks in Russia. Most of these occurred on the Pacific Coast and in Siberia, where bear populations are higher.
