On October 5, 2003, bear enthusiast Timothy Treadwell and his girlfriend Amie Huguenard were mauled and eaten by a bear after having spent the summer in Alaska’s Katmai National Park researching the animals. Tragically, they were scheduled to be picked up by a chartered floatplane the next morning. But when their pilot arrived as scheduled, he saw a bear feasting on what appeared to be a human ribcage from the air. And when he returned with park rangers, they discovered Huguenard’s body half-eaten underneath a pile of mud, grass, and sticks, indicating that the bear that had killed her intended to store her and come back later.
