VIDEO: Worst Bear Attacks on Humans

There are always fights happening in the wild. Eat or be eaten! Kill or be killed! That’s how life works.

That’s why animals are instinctively protecting themselves and their territory.

When you see wild animals minding their own business, it’s better to live them to it, as most of them are not dangerous unless provoked.

There are, of course, exceptions – animals that are just extremely violent and angry by nature.

This video presents seven brutal bear attacks on humans!

December, 2013: Florida resident Susan Chalfant narrowly escapes a bear attack while walking her dogs in her gated community.

During her daily stroll, a black bear jumped out of nowhere & began attacking her. Neighbors watched the horrendous incident unfold as it began mauling Susan. After one of the bystanders immediately called 9-1-1, she was finally able to escape to a neighbor’s house.

Upon arriving at the hospital, workers discovered that she was bleeding from the head. It turns out that the bear had bit her face.

Susan was later able to recall the event, stating that the black bear knocked her down, circled around as if to block her escape route, then attacked again by biting her face. She fought back by trying to gouge its eyes out, which successfully helped in fending the bear off.

Authorities were able to catch the bear & it’s been living in captivity ever since. Wildlife officials speculate it was a mother bear that mistook Chalfant & her dogs as a threat to her cubs, and was ultimately acting to protect her offspring; although they have not ruled out the possibility of it being a predatory attack either.

The Sankebetsu Brown Bear Incident is considered to be the worst bear attack in Japan’s history.

Between December 9th and December 14th, 1915, seven Japanese settlers were killed by a brown bear named Kesagake, who awoke early from hibernation. A group of people initially shot at this same bear less than two weeks earlier on November 30th, hoping that it would scare away after the shooting.

On December 9th, however, Kesagake appeared at the home of a farmer named Hasumi Mikko. The bear managed to kill the farmer by biting his skull, then attacked his wife, Abe Mayu. The wife tossed firewood at the bear but was eventually killed & dragged off into the forest. The next day, a group of villagers went looking for the bear in order to kill it.

They began shooting upon finding it, but only one of them managed to hit the beast. While they were able to escape the ordeal unharmed, they DID manage to find the remains of Mayu, the farmer’s wife. This confirmed that the bear was indeed dangerous.

Knowing the bear’s savage tendencies, they plotted to kill it by setting a trap. This, however, did not stop Kesagake. It went on to kill a mother & her children after breaking into their hut & mauling the victims to death. Nearby guardsmen shot at the beast several times & missed, thus allowing it to escape the village unharmed.
