Jack Hanna wards off grizzly with pepper spray
COLUMBUS, OH
The Columbus Zoo keeper and frequent David Letterman guest says
he was with his wife and other hikers in Montana's Glacier National
Park on Saturday when they saw the mother bear and two large cubs
coming toward them. Hanna and the others moved slowly back up the
trail to a clearing and stood still while the mother and one cub
passed by.
Hanna says the other cub, weighing about 125 pounds, charged
toward the hikers. Hanna sprayed the bear in the face, and it fled.
Hanna had recently filmed a message for the National Park
Service encouraging hikers to carry pepper spray.
