Bear 'Buries Woman Alive To Eat Her Later'

The animal is said to have launched a ferocious assault on the mum before covering her in soil in an attempt to hide his prey.



A woman was attacked and buried alive by a bear while she walked her dog, according to Russian media.

Natalya Pasternak was collecting birch sap with a friend in a forest in the Amur region of Siberia when her pet began to bark.

The bear is reported to have first targeted the dog before attacking the 55-year-old, causing serious injuries to her stomach, legs and head.

Apparently in an effort to hide his prey to eat later, the wild animal then covered the mother-of-two with soil.

Ms Pasternak's friend managed to escape and called emergency services.

Police and experts arrived and shot the animal - a female, estimated to be four years old - before finding the woman buried, but still conscious.

According to the Siberian Times, the woman asked her rescuers: "Have you killed the bear?"

She was taken to intensive care at a hospital in Tynda, where doctors said her condition was now serious but stable.

The region's deputy health minister, Marina Gulevich, told Vostok Media: "Even yesterday, the patient remained non-transportable.

"But she has recovered. She was disconnected from the ventilator and is breathing by herself."

The Siberian Times reports that her two adult children were also at the hospital.

waste not, want not. Good thing the bear wasn't hungry.
Note to self, when dog starts barking in bear country take safety off and double waling speed.
