Clivia Feliz, a longtime runner and user of Anchorage trails, believes the bear mauling that left her seriously injured Friday evening was her own fault.
"I shouldn't have been on that trail," she said from her hospital bed this afternoon.
The bear bit Feliz about six times, but only once with force into her torso. She heard her ribs crunch against the teeth of the bear.
Feliz, 51, was the second person in six weeks to be attacked by a brown bear on the Rover's Run trail in Far North Bicentennial Park.
Fish and Game biologist Rick Sinnott said he is heading into the park this evening to try to find and kill the grizzly.
The bear has two cubs with it. Sinnott said they will likely be disposed of also.
I feel badly about the possible death of this bear, especially since it may have well been simply protecting her cubs, but there is a very real possibility that she may be responsible for a number of these attacks and that makes her too dangerous to be this close to Anchorage.
