Bear 806’s Brutal Infanticide at Brooks River | Anchorage News
Description
A shocking infanticide unfolded live on camera at Katmai National Park, as bear 806 brutally attacked and ate a cub that wasn’t hers—belonging to bear 909, who had left it unattended. The incident, rare in the Brooks River area, highlights the brutal reality of survival in the wild, especially amid an unusually high cub count this season. Park rangers suspect the cub’s panicked run triggered the attack, and while 806 had her own cubs, she didn’t see the other cub as a threat. Later, bear 909 was spotted digging up the remains—a chilling reminder that even in nature’s most watched corners, life and death play out without mercy.
