That’s a scary class!
A brown bear and her cub mauled a group of teenage boys participating in a survival skills course deep in the Alaskan wilderness Sunday.
Two of the teens, participating in a survival skills course, suffered life-threatening injuries, Alaska State Troopers said in a press release, and two had injuries that were labeled “serious, but non-life-threatening.”
The spokeswoman for the state police said those four are in critical condition, while three others had minor injuries or exposure-related issues. She added:
“They were mauled, very severely. It was truly an emergency situation.”
Between ages 16 to 18 and from all around the country, the boys said that they followed protocol in calling out to warn the bears and carrying bear spray, according to the wilderness program.
