LOS ANGELES, Jan 18 — A polar bear on a rampage killed a woman and a boy in a remote area of Alaska, police said, in a rare attack on humans.
“Initial reports indicate that a polar bear had entered the community and had chased multiple residents,” police said in a statement yesterday’s attack. According to Canadian NGO Polar Bears International, only 20 people worldwide are known to have been killed by polar bears between 1870 and 2014, though the frequency of attacks is increasing.
The giant bears — males can grow up to 1,500 pounds -- face increasing threats from climate change, with their Arctic sea ice habitat disappearing as the far north warms up to four times faster than the rest of the world.
