Really? That's unusual for a black bear to eat people.

However, bears are very attracted to odors, so hikers should not wear perfumes or scented deoderants and the like ( city folk probably don't know this) Also, a menstrating woman should be nowhere near bear country. For some reason the bears really want to eat them! I'm not saying that's the reason in this case, but animals usually react in predictable ways to certain stimuli.

Black bears eat more people than Grizzlys do. Fact. There are a lot more black bears than grizzlys, and they are much more commonly in contact with people.

There is no accounting for taste.
