:eek::eek::eek:

A DISTRAUGHT mother listened on a mobile phone as her teenage daughter was eaten alive by a brown bear and its three cubs.

Olga Moskalyova, 19, gave an horrific hour-long running commentary on her own death in three separate calls as the wild animals killed her.

She screamed: “Mum, the bear is eating me! Mum, it’s such agony. Mum, help!’”

Her mother Tatiana said that at first thought she was joking. “But then I heard the real horror and pain in Olga’s voice, and the sounds of a bear growling and chewing.”

She added: “I could have died then and there from shock.”

Unknown to Tatiana, the bear had already killed her husband Igor Tsyganenkov – Olga’s stepfather – by overpowering him, breaking his neck and smashing his skull. Olga, a trainee psychologist, saw the *attack on her stepfather in tall grass and reeds by a river in Russia and fled for 70 yards before the mother bear grabbed her leg.

As the creature toyed with her, she managed to call Tatiana several times during the prolonged attack. Tatiana rang her husband – not knowing he was *already dead – but got no answer.

Mum, the bear is eating me! Mum, it’s such agony. Mum, help!


She alerted the police and relatives in the village of Termalniy, near Petropavlovsk Kamchatskiy, in the extreme east of Siberia.

She begged them to rush to the river where the pair had gone to retrieve a fishing rod that Igor had left.

In a second call, a weak Olga gasped: “Mum, the bears are back. She came back and brought her three babies. They’re... eating me”.

Finally, in her last call – almost an hour after the first – Olga sensed she was on the verge of death.

With the bears having apparently left her to die, she said: “Mum, it’s not hurting anymore. I don’t feel the pain. Forgive me for everything, I love you so much.”

The call cut off and that was the last Tatiana heard from her *daughter. Half an hour later, Igor’s brother Andrei arrived with police to find the mother bear still devouring his body. Badly mauled Olga was also dead.

Six hunters were sent in by the emergency services to kill the mother bear and her three cubs.

The double killing is the latest in a spate of bear attacks across *Russia, as the hungry animals seek food in areas where people have *encroached and settled on their former habitat.

A weeping Tatiana said that Olga had everything to look forward to, and was happy with her life and boyfriend Stepan.

“My daughter was such fun. She was so cheerful, friendly, and warm,” said Tatiana.

“She had graduated from music school, and just days before the bear attack she got her driving *licence.”

Her husband and daughter are due to be buried today.

That's some odd $hit right there. Why didn't the bears actually kill her before eating her? And why would they attack her, presumably for food, if they already killed the man and could have eaten him?

bears always begin eating before they kill. They aren't like cats.

They will work on your face and disembowel you without going for an directed kill.

Also--it's mother a bear with cubs. that should explain everything for you about "why did they attack her?"


this is horrible. :(

Maybe the adult bear felt the humans were a threat to the cubs?

I know here in the NW bears will hoard salmon, catching them and stashing them to eat later. Basically, when the fishing/hunting is good, they keep at it to build up a stash for later.

Sad story, but IMO you don't go out into bear country without at least bear spray or a proper gun if you are trained.

Christ that's depressing...I can't imagine the frustration and sense of helplessness that poor woman and her daughter went through. :'(

Barely any jokes in this thread (e.g. "In Soviet Russia...."). Proud of y'all.

No source link? This story is confusing. I mean just picture it. The girl is laying there on the ground, the bears are eating her and she's on the phone with her mom talking to her. Like, a bear is chewing on her leg and she has her phone up to her ear and is having a conversation with mom.

Well that was depressing. I wonder if it was a "good" thing that the daughter was able to have some final words with her mother.
I'm sure there's a non-zero number of bear killings, and I would assume the majority of the time the person dies alone. So I guess this is sorta better. But at the same time, hearing your daughter go through that has to be beyond awful.
