May 31, 2024
Army veteran Shayne Burke was on his honeymoon in Grand Teton National Park when he was mauled by a mama grizzly bear. Les Trent spoke to the 35-year-old Burke and his wife Chloe. Burke says "she was attacking me to kill me because I was perceived as a threat." In a Facebook post, Burke explained how a can of bear spray may have saved his life. He wrote that "as she bit my hands and the back of my neck, she simultaneously bit the bear spray can and it exploded in her mouth."
