Woman uses bear spray to save husband’s life in Canada grizzly attack
How a couple survived a ‘defensive’ grizzly bear attack
- A woman saved her husband from a grizzly bear attack on a Canadian trail by effectively using bear spray.
- The incident took place on Saturday while the couple was e-biking along the Kootenay River in British Columbia.
- The husband sustained significant injuries and was taken to the hospital for surgery following the encounter.
- Officials determined the attack was 'defensive in nature', likely occurring because the couple startled two bears in thick brush.
- Authorities decided not to capture or dispatch the bears, but advised others in bear country to carry and know how to use bear spray.
