She could have just as easily lost her calf.
Black bears are like giant kittens compared to Grizzlies. But if they think you're food and are hungry enough, they can easily cut you to ribbons.
This woman's mistake was letting that bear get so close in the first place. I mean I get it, freeze and appear non-threatening is a go-to for people, but those three should have scared it off.

So you’re saying you wouldn’t want to personally step in to break up the grizzly fight I posted above?
I'd pull out my phone and do exactly what the person recording it did. Except I might have to edit the audio afterward to mute out my pants-shitting, depending on how close I was.
I've been up close to black bears a couple times. They're freaky enough.

I think I mentioned this in another thread on bears
(BTW, we have more than one??? 5555)
If it is black, fight back
if it is brown, lay down
if it is white, good night! -

Think about how many hominids had to die to pass that heuristic down to us.
Stories do preserve the collected wisdom of a culture.

I really didn't need to see or know that.
