A woman was killed and eaten by a black bear in Colorado, according to authorities.
The body of the 39-year-old woman, who has not been identified, was found by her boyfriend in woodland in Durango, a town of La Plata County, on Friday.
According to Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW), she was found in woodland hours after she went walking with the couple’s two dogs on Friday afternoon.
When the man returned home from work on Friday evening, he found the couple’s two dogs in front of the home, but not his girlfriend.
He told officers that he eventually found her body on a well known footpath.
In a press release, CPW said that “officers responded and observed signs of consumption on the body and an abundance of bear scat and hair at the scene.”
Officers from CPW, the La Plata County sheriff’s office, and a dog team from the US department of agriculture continued to search the area.
The dog team found a female black bear in the woodland with two cubs, who were shot by the officers, according to CPW.
