COOKE CITY, Mont. (AP) - A woman who was attacked by a bear at a
Montana campground says she was bitten on her arm and leg before
she instinctively played dead so the animal would leave her alone.
At least one bear rampaged through a heavily occupied campground
Wednesday near Yellowstone National Park in the middle of the
night, killing one man and injuring Deb Freele of Ontario and
another man.
Freele said on Thursday's network morning talk shows that she
wants to thank the people in the next campground who helped rescue
her after the bear left the area.
Freele is a frequent camper who says she's ready to go camping
again despite the trauma.
Wildlife officials were trying to capture the bear late
Wednesday.
