A hunter has been injured after he was mauled by a grizzly bear in Alaska's Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve, officials say.
A hunter was injured Wednesday after he was mauled by a grizzly bear in Alaska's Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve, officials said.
Jason Long, 39, of Eagle River, Alaska, was alone near the Chisana River when a mother and her two cubs attacked him, according to the National Park Service. The hunter called for help using a distress signal, prompting the Air National Guard and the park service to coordinate a rescue mission. Authorities found Long with lacerations and puncture wounds. He was taken to multiple facilities for treatment, the park service said. It was unclear how severe his injuries were, but authorities said he was stable.
Because mother bears are often protective of their young, officials said there were no plans to relocate the bear and that there was no indication that the bear was"unusually dangerous."
