Woman Collides with Grizzly Bear

A 50-year-old Canadian woman killed a grizzly bear last year, and she didn't even have a gun. According to the Calgary Herald, the woman was riding her motorcycle when a 500-pound grizzly ran out in front of her. With little time to stop or react, the woman plowed into North America's largest predator, killing the bear and sending the woman hurtling over the handlebars of the bike. (Illustration by Sammie W.
