texastrophies Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Canadian Jogger Killed By Grizzly Bear After Climbing Tree Bear Was Moved Days Ago For Threatening Humans POSTED: 6:29 am CDT June 7, 2005 CANMORE, Alberta -- Canadian authorities said a grizzly bear moved days ago for threatening humans in Alberta has killed a jogger. The attack happened Sunday on a popular hiking trail near the Canadian Rockies resort town of Canmore -- about 55 miles west of Calgary. The victim, Isabelle Dube, had been jogging with two friends when the animal attacked. She climbed a tree and the friends ran to a nearby golf course for help. Police said by the time rescue workers got there, the grizzly had somehow gotten the victim down from the tree and mauled her to death. Fish and wildlife officers later shot and killed the animal.

SaskMan Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Re: Canadian Jogger Killed By Grizzly Bear I heard this already. Makes you wonder how far it was moved in the first place and how it got her out of the tree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fisherguy Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Re: Canadian Jogger Killed By Grizzly Bear Just so you know...banff is right near canmore apparently they did not move the bear very far at all. THey have had black bears go over 100 kilometers to get back to there original location, and unless tehy took that grizzly from canmore to the farthest part of Banff Park, it would have been a lot less distance than that. Also i believe younger grizzlies can often climb trees until they get too heavy...that is what i have heard anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elkoholic Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 Re: Canadian Jogger Killed By Grizzly Bear Tragic story. In real time it is just another predator/prey episode that unfortunately involved a human. Grizzlies, contrary to popular belief, can climb trees and when relocated they have been known to traverse hundreds of miles and several mountain ranges in just a couple of days to return to the area they were trapped in. Just another reminder that we are not the dominant predator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
