The couple, who live in Fort Severn County, found the grizzly bear in their driveway early Tuesday morning.
In the will of the bear, the woman who “fell to the slide” [the] the ground as her husband jumped to prevent the animal from attacking,” said Nishnawbe Aski of the police ministry in a news release.

Fort Severn is the Swampy Cree First Nation on the southern shores of Hudson Bay, the northernmost community in Ontario, and a place where polar bears are often spotted.
Despite the estimated population of 17,000 Canadathe more rare and fatal attacks of conflict.
But for communities like Fort Severn that deal with grizzly bears, the state of the sea ice will be close in the coming years. play a critical role in the perspective of the smartphone – and interactions with people.
“Each bear species comes with its own personality and its own physical condition,” said Andrew Derocher, a professor of biology at the University of Alberta. Interactions with humans “only depend on the individual bear, the annual conditions and the location,” he said. “But as a general rule, polar bears will become more mobile as environmental conditions change.”

Well-stocked polar bears in good condition are rarely a problem for humans, Derocher said, but an abandoned land bear in poor condition is a “conflict” and human injuries or deaths.
While bears in the western Hudson Bay population had more-than-expected ice coverage over the summer, enough ice had not yet formed during the critical winter hunting season. A cold snap is expected soon – meaning some bears are still roaming the land, burning their precious fat stores as they search for food. Polar bears use roughly 1kg (2.2lb) of their stored fat every day when they are on land and not foraging.
“Once those resources are exhausted, bears change their behavior and a lot of their natural human caution and avoidance of food seekers is lost,” says Derocher.
