A woman in the US was allegedly killed by a brown bear

A woman has been found dead on a hiking trail near Montana National Park (USA) after she was allegedly attacked by a brown bear, park officials said.

As the BBC reported on Monday, bear tracks were discovered near the dead woman's body on Saturday, but the cause of death has not yet been confirmed by medical teams.

This national park in the United States of America has two types of bears: brown and black. These are considered the most dangerous species of bears, and attacks have increased in recent years.

Police authorities have issued an alert to close the area where the dead body of the woman was found. They have called for maximum care for bears.
