Incident in Croatia
Walker (64) attacked and injured by a bear
A dangerous incident has occurred in Croatia's popular Plitvice Lakes National Park. A local resident was attacked and injured by a bear during a walk.
The incident occurred late on Friday evening. According to the HRT television station, the 64-year-old man who was attacked said that he was walking about 800 meters from his house. The animal had approached him from a pasture, knocked him over, bitten him and then ran away again. The local resident was taken to hospital. According to the information provided, however, the injuries are not serious.
Bear attacks are rare in Croatia
Around 1000 brown bears live in the wild in Croatia. The Croatian wildlife protection authorities try to keep conflicts between bears and humans to a minimum through measures such as monitoring, public relations work, bear-proof dung bins and regulation of the population through shooting. It is therefore rare for bears to attack humans in Croatia.
The Plitvice Lakes National Park with its picturesque waterfalls connecting the 16 lakes is a popular destination for tourists.
