Animal expert Jack Hanna used pepper spray to fend off a charging grizzly bear on a Montana hiking trail. Hanna was hiking late Saturday with his wife, on a narrow cliff trail in Glacier National Park with three other hikers close by when they noticed a mother grizzly and her two cubs walking toward them in the opposite direction. The bears started toward Hanna, his wife, and three other nearby hikers, and that’s when Hanna says one of the yearlings started charging. Hanna acted fast, unloading his pepper spray three times, hitting the bear in the face on the third spray. He said the animal ran away. Hanna said he has carried pepper spray while hiking for 15 years but this was the first time he used it.
