The bear actually bit the kid's hands off. Unfortunately, this is a true story.

One year when I was a kid we were camping in Glacier National Park there was a black bear off to the side of some road and a whole bunch of people stopped to ooh and ahh, then some idiot gets the bright idea to cover her kid's face with honey and send him out over to where the bear is so it can lick his face and she can take pictures. I'm pretty sure stupidity like that deserves to be mauled... I think tourists kind of miss the meaning of ‘wild’.

He was big and furry and smelled like stale beer. Fortunately he too was soon asleep and was relocated to a dark spot under the pool table. Bear attacks can happen anywhere!

To go from the mountains in Maple Ridge south down along the Fraser River is a really long trek, especially for a cougar. @Colleeny I remember a few years ago when there was a Cougar wandering around the streets in Hammond (Maple Ridge) and no this was type that is in the feline category.

Made for a long roundabout way to get to school. That was in Port Coquitlam in the late 80's, early 90's.

They are too smart and just come back. We had a lot of bear encounters this summer. I personally think they are pretty smart. I saw a bear open our screen door before coming in. I've heard of people also seeing bears open car doors. But even tho we kept food inside (dog food in the freezer), no compost, etc the reality is that human living does encroach on their world. The conservation officers finally had to react after a momma bear ripped a window out of our kitchen wall to come in, and unfortunately we were home sleeping... "Unfortunate" for the bear as our bear was one of the 4 shot in the same week as the Coquitlam bear... Relocation doesn’t work so well apparently. They are too smart and just come back.
