A woman wrestles with a bear and survives with her life

A 28-year-old woman from Montana, a gray bear wrestler, survived a fractured head.

Amber Kornak had just started her work, a study of predators, when a bear attacked her in an isolated mountainous area this month.

But was able to keep it away from them using self-defense spray, and traveled more than three kilometers to reach her car.

Amber is currently in hospital and in stable condition, according to one of her friends.

The young woman took seasonal work to study bears' lives with the Wildlife Foundation in Monata on May 10 and was attacked a week later when she was on a mission in a mountainous area, according to the spokeswoman, Jennifer Strickland.

Amber managed to catch the spit, but she sprayed herself by mistake before heading to the bear who attacked her. Then she got in her car to ask for help. She was taken to the hospital for treatment, fractures in the head and back and neck injuries.

Doctors put metal plates and a number of screws in her skull.

The Associated Press reported that Amber on the day of the incident was gathering bears hair to analyze its DNA.

Gray bears in the United States

Gray bears are an endangered species in the United States and are protected by federal laws in most states.

In the mountainous area where the accident occurred, about 50 dirhams were found.

The administration of the US National Park earlier this week proposed the repeal of the Obama law banning the use of traps to kill bears in Alaska.

This week, the state of Wyoming allowed the bear to be hunted for the first time in forty years.
