A three-year-old child was injured in a bear attack on Sunday after unsecured food items were left lying around a Montana campsite.
The incident took place at around 10 p.m. at a private campground near Red Lodge, southwest of Billings. A Facebook post by Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks says that the subadult female bear attacked the child inside a tent. Game wardens and bear specialists responded and quickly found the reason for the attack: garbage, a camping cooler and food had been left unsecured inside and around the tent.
