Jacqueline is at the table as Mark slips behind the tent to change his clothes. Suddenly a dark shape appears from behind the brush, heading towards Jacqueline--a black bear. Just as Mark shouts a warning, "Jac, bear", the attacker strikes.
Blink of an eye, she's fighting for her life. What is happening? When bears do attack, it's usually a grizzly bear, that's the culprit. The 800-pound giants are responsible for 80% of bear attacks on humans. Attacks by black bears are extremely rare. Black bears are usually timid creatures that shy away from humans, the least likely animal one would expect to encounter with. Since 1991, more than 120 million people have visited Canada's provincial parks. In that time, there were no fatal attacks by black bears. And there's never been an attack in this Ontario Park, at least not until now.
Rushing to Jacqueline's defense, Mark grabs the bear around the neck and pries it off her. Jacqueline tries to escape, but collapses to the ground. With a quick bite to the neck, the bear throws Mark aside. Mark is stunned, but not out of the fight. The bear's attention now turns back to Jacqueline. Mark grabs the only weapon at hand, his pocketknife, and jumps between the bear and his wife. Now man and beast face-off, each one the size of the other.
