Conservation officers in Bella Coola, B.C., are now trying to capture three grizzly bears after an attack on a group of school children who were out on a field trip Thursday afternoon.

The footage is extraordinary in that grizzly bears hibernate during the winter, when the Yukon receives most of its snow. So it’s rare to document a grizzly at close range during a blizzard and before it has shaken off the snow.

(Missoula Current) Two grizzlies might be either injured or dead after being shot by hunters northeast of Seeley Lake.

Following an attack on a school group on British Columbia’s Central Coast, the B.C. Wildlife Federation is calling on the province to consider lifting the ban on hunting grizzly bears — but not everyone is convinced.
