Hiker hospitalized after bear that 'came out of nowhere' attacks near Sierra Madre - LA Times

"An estimated 25,000 to 30,000 black bears live in California, though the animals are more commonly seen in Central and Northern California.

See photos of bear chasing down moose or any buffalo or elk etc which can kill you but are prey to the bear.

I see they have Jacqueline Perry listed from 2005.
Her death motivated me to carry a Buck knife the following year.
Helped save, at the least, my dog’s life and possibly my own.
