The two ran back to the yurt and cleaned Shannon Stevens’ wound, which she described as a “single puncture.” She said she ultimately wasn’t sure if her injury was a bite or a claw mark. The three spent the night at the yurt and found tracks the next morning near the outhouse.
Alaska Department of Fish and Game Biologist Carl Koch investigated the incident. After looking at photos of tracks and taking into account other reports of bear activity in the area, he said he believes the culprit was a black bear.
