A black bear bit a person who was stress-free in a hammock at a Colorado campground Saturday evening, in response to Colorado Parks and Wildlife.
The bear wandered as much as the person as he lay within the hammock at a campground within the Purgatoire River bottoms close to Trinidad, the wildlife company mentioned in a information launch Sunday. The assault was reported at about 10 p.m.
The person, who has not been publicly recognized, informed officers he was within the hammock when he heard a rustling noise, turned on his headlamp and found a bear beside him. The black bear bit the person on the higher proper arm after which turned and walked away, in response to Colorado Parks and Wildlife.
The person suffered a 2- to 3-inch chunk. Wildlife officers mentioned Sunday they’re looking for the bear and have set traps to attempt to seize the animal. The company’s coverage is to kill any bear that assaults a human, and the bear might be killed whether it is captured.
