This week we're talking about the very recent attack that occurred June 5th, 2022: Mukesh and Gudiya Rai were walking through the Panna National Park Forest in New Delhi, India, when they were killed in what's been deemed a very rare attack by a Sloth Bear.
For more information on how to safely live/recreate around sloth bears, visit BearBiology.org and there's a great Youtube video by @bearbiology titled Living with Sloth Bears, available in both English and Hindi.
