Park officials have been searching for the bear’s cubs after the adult was euthanized following the encounter.
A man has been injured in a bear attack after he stumbled upon a sow and her two cubs in his garage near Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Park and wildlife officials have called the attack «an unfortunate reminder» about keeping food sources secure from bears. The incident occurred on Sunday evening when the homeowner noticed his garage door was open. Upon attempting to close the door, the man encountered a bear and two cubs. Colorado Parks & Wildlife (CPW) noted the man had used the garage to store food, including birdseed «and other attractants.» The man tried to slowly back away, but the bear attacked. He was left with injuries to his head and legs. Though the man’s injuries required surgery, CPW said Monday he was in a stable condition and his injuries were not considered life-threatening.
