HELENA, MONT.— A grizzly bear attacked and killed a 38-year-old mountain biker Wednesday as he was riding along a trail just outside Glacier National Park, Montana authorities said. In the most well-known Glacier attacks, bears killed two people in different parts of the park in a single night in 1967. At least 700 more grizzlies live in and around Yellowstone National Park, which is roughly 579 km south of Glacier. The last was in 1998, when three bears killed and partially ate a park vendor employee while he was hiking. Glacier officials say there are usually one or two non-lethal encounters between bears and humans each year inside the park.
