Summary

A man in Fort Severn First Nation, Ontario, was seriously injured after jumping on a polar bear to protect his wife from an attack while searching for their dogs early in the morning.

The bear attacked the man before a neighbor intervened, shooting the animal, which later died in nearby woods. The man was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

Experts note polar bear attacks are rare but increasing as climate change disrupts their habitats, pushing them inland in search of food.

Police continue monitoring the area for additional bears.
