Grizzly kills hiker photographing it

A GRIZZLY bear killed a hiker in Alaska’s Denali National Park after the man stopped and photographed the animal for eight minutes, park rangers said.

The hiker, Richard White, 49, of San Diego, was backpacking alone along the Toklat River when he came within 50 metres of the bear, pictures recovered from his camera showed.

Rangers in a helicopter spotted a large male grizzly bear sitting on the hiker’s remains.
