Canadian Man Fights Off Polar Bear Attack to Save Wife
In a rare act of bravery, a Canadian man sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries while defending his wife from a polar bear attack in Fort Severn First Nation. The attack occurred early Tuesday morning as the couple searched for their dogs, with the bear charging the woman in their driveway. The man’s courageous intervention, involving jumping onto the bear, successfully protected his wife. While polar bear attacks are uncommon, this incident highlights the potential dangers of encountering wildlife in remote northern communities.
