A black bear? Must run up on a momma and her cub(s).

Running from a bear is an enticement. The bear follows instinct. The boy acted like prey.

I feel badly for him and his family. On a side note, if I were being chased by a bear, I’m not too sure I’d be sending text messages while it was happening.

note: when being chased by a bear, don’t stop to text.

This headline is one of the very few times when ‘teen’ doesn’t properly identify the race of the victim.

He should have played “dead,” as Bugs Bunny taught us.

I guess he couldn’t outrun the next racer, either.

Texting while being chased by a bear. I’m sorry that this boy died but this is just bizarre.

I hope the bear was disqualified.

I'm in Fairbanks this morning, we just finished driving the Alaska highway last night. Yesterday in Canada, we had just started an up hill climb from a lake valley where tent camping is prohibited this time of year due to bear activity.
We drove up on a momma grizzly eating grasses along the roadside while her 2 tiny cubs watched her. Knowing how dangerous the situation could be we took pictures from the car while momma relentlessly stuffed herself. A big semi flew by and scared one of the cubs so mom wandered back up a hill off the highway.
We drove on up and soon came up on 2 bicyclists who were struggling up the grade. They had to have ridden right by the bears, no way they could have gotten awY riding uphill on gear laden bikes. Crazy!

Bears consider runners as fast food.

Must have gotten between a sow and her cubs. Deadly.
