A man is recuperating from non-life-threatening wounds after a grizzly bear attack in northern B.C. that conservation officers say was “defensive in nature.”

The attack occurred at approximately 11 a.m. on July 6 some 110 kilometres west of Fort Nelson, B.C., where a man was working as part of a team in a secluded setting, according to a social media post from the B.C. Conservation Officer Service (COS).
