When an 800-pound Kodiak brown bear charged out of the brush on Tuesday, Katelynn Lane had only seconds to react. Faced with a mother bear protective of her cubs, Lane says a split-second defensive position inspired by her martial arts training may have saved her life.
The air traffic control tower at Fairbanks International Airport will close overnight starting this weekend, according to a notice received by Alaska’s News Source.
The cub has been wandering the Anchorage bowl ever since Fish and Game killed its mother and a sibling for repeatedly getting into trash in a Lake Otis neighborhood. A third cub was captured immediately and has been living at the Alaska zoo ever since.
