In the United States, an elderly woman who was a former doctor, told about the attack of a large black bear. She managed to fight back and escape, according to the portal of the Today program of the NBC channel.
The incident took place at Lake Tahoe, California. Laurel-Rose von Hoffmann-Kurzi owns a small house near the reservoir, and during the COVID-19 pandemic, she decided to isolate herself there. According to her, the predator attacked her in the evening, so she did not notice him for a long time until he raised his paw to strike.

“I didn't understand what was happening, I just felt that I was being torn apart,” recalls Von Hoffmann-Kurzi. She managed to throw a blanket over the beast and escape into the house. The woman received serious lacerations to the head and body, but was able to bandage them on her own and call for help.
According to the captain of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Patrick Foy, his colleagues received DNA samples of the bear and are now trying to track him down. “If an animal attacks a person and we can identify it, then it is euthanized to prevent further attacks,” he said.
Foy also said that the population of black bears in Northern California has tripled in 25 years , therefore, collisions with people have become more frequent.
