https://www.ktva.com/story/39556013/grizzly-bear-kills-woman-and-baby-in-yukonWHITEHORSE, Yukon (AP) - A grizzly bear has killed a woman and her 10-month-old baby in Canada.
The Yukon Coroner's Service says 37-year-old Valerie Theoret and infant Adele Roesholt died in the attack in the Yukon near the Northwest Territories border.
Coroner Heather Jones says Royal Canadian Mounted Police received a call Monday from trapper Gjermund Roesholt, who said he was returning from a walk when he was charged by a grizzly bear about 100 meters from a cabin he shared with his wife and infant daughter.

I live in grizzly territory in the lower 48, I keep bear spray by the door and look outside before opening the door. Have baby griz nose prints on my front door. But I am also a retired outreach and education about nears and your safety worker for the gov't.
A bear is a bear is a bear, no matter which kind.
