Great Smoky Mountains Bear FoundScavenging On Human Remains

A small percentage of black bears are predatory on humans. Many people are surprised to learn about this. I used to work in SE Alaska and saw bears every day, black ones and large salmon eating brown ones. I had more problems with black bears, because there were more of them. I have been stalked by them over several hours. They would leave and come back always on my 6 (behind me). Be ever vigilant.

Bear was just scavenging. (Not yet proven via autopsy tho.) No danger beyond any normal bear. Sad that he had to die.
Knoxville news sites have a tad more info if anyone is inclined to look.
