Italian Tourist Dies After Cute Selfie with Baby Bear Turns Deadly
A 49-year-old Italian tourist, Omar Farang Zin, was killed in Romania's central Carpathian Mountains after taking a selfie with a baby bear, which provoked its mother into attacking him. The incident occurred while he was traveling by motorcycle.
Reports indicate that Omar had shared excited posts on social media about his close encounter with wild bears, unaware of the danger he was in. After witnesses reported the attack, rescue teams found his body after an hour of searching, with no signs of life. The local government has confirmed that the mother bear was humanely disposed of. This incident highlights the increasing frequency of bear attacks due to shrinking habitats caused by human activity and climate change.
