| November 26, 2018 | Valérie Théorêt, 37, female Adele Roesholt, 10 months, female | Wild | Canada, Einarson Lake, Yukon — The mother and child were attacked near their cabin while on a trip to manage trapping lines.

| September 14, 2018 | Mark Uptain, 37, male | Wild | USA, Teton Wilderness, Wyoming — Uptain, a guide for Martin Outfitters, was cleaning an elk that he and his client Corey Chubon had shot when the bear attacked. The bear was a sow with a 1½-year-old male cub. The hunter and his guide were dressing an elk carcass and had left a canister of bear spray and a Glock 20 pistol out of reach. As the bear attacked, Chubon, unfamiliar with the operation of a Glock pistol, was unable to fire and attempted to throw it at Uptain who failed to catch it. The bear turned on Uptain. Chubon fled with injuries as the bear attacked Uptain. After staggering 50 yards (46 m) uphill from the dead elk, Uptain was killed by the mother and possibly by the cub as well. The bears were shot and killed by Wyoming Fish and Game officials. |
| June 19, 2018 | Mike Soltis, 44, male | Wild | USA, Eagle River, Alaska — Soltis was day hiking alone along the Eagle River. After failing to return, a search party was dispatched. Rangers found a grizzly bear sitting on Soltis's remains. The bear then attacked the search party, badly mauling one searcher. The search party retreated from the area.

| June 29, 2016 | Brad Treat, 38, male | Wild | USA, Flathead National Forest, Montana — Treat and another man were on mountain bikes on U.S. Forest Service land near Halfmoon Lakes. According to the official Board of Review report on the incident, Treat's mountain bike collided at high speed with a large male grizzly bear "after rounding a blind curve in the trail." The bear immediately attacked Treat in response to being struck by the bicycle. The second rider escaped uninjured and summoned help. The bear was identified via DNA from a previous research project, but was not captured or killed because its behavior was a natural response to a surprise encounter involving physical contact. |
| August 7, 2015 | Lance Crosby, 63, male | Wild | USA, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming — Crosby, an employee at a medical clinic in the park, was reported missing when he did not report for work. A park ranger found his body in a popular off-trail area less than a mile (1 600 m) from Elephant Back Loop Trail, an area he was known to frequent. His body was partially consumed and covered. Puncture wounds on his arms indicated he had tried to defend himself. Based on the presence of a sow grizzly and a cub in the area, the sow was deemed responsible for the attack. The sow was captured and killed after it was found to be the bear that killed Crosby. There were public appeals to not kill the sow, but the park superintendent decided there was a risk the sow might kill again; based on July 6, 2011, and August 24, 2011, killings in the park, where another sow was present at both those killings. |
| October 14, 2014 | Claudia Huber, 42, female | Wild | Canada, near Teslin, Yukon — A 25-year-old healthy male grizzly bear broke into a home and chased the victim and her husband outside.

| September 7, 2014 | Rick Cross, 54, male | Wild | Canada, Kananaskis Country, Alberta — Cross, a hunter, was killed by a mother bear when he accidentally got between her and her cubs.

RCMP said it appeared he wandered into the area where the mother and cub were feeding on a dead deer. |
| September 4, 2014 | Adam Thomas Stewart, 31, male | Wild | USA, Bridger-Teton National Forest, Wyoming — Stewart was conducting research alone in the Bridger-Teton National Forest in northwest Wyoming near the SE corner of Yellowstone National Park. This is high density bear habitat and he was in Cub Creek. After he failed to return, a search found his body. The coroner suspects it was a grizzly bear, but the species hasn't officially been determined. The pathologist noted premortem punctures to Stewart's skull, indicating the cause of death was from a bear attack. The FWS report says he was not carrying bear spray or a firearm. |
| October 11, 2012 | Tomas Puerta, 54, male | Wild | USA, Chichagof Island, Alaska — After passers-by spotted an unattended skiff, they investigated and encountered a grizzly bear sow and two cubs. Alaska State troopers and Sitka Mountain rescue personnel then found evidence of a campsite and fire on the beach. There was evidence of a struggle, and upon following a trail of disturbed vegetation, they found Puerta's body, cached and partially eaten. |
| August 24, 2012 | Richard White, 49, male | Wild | USA, Denali National Park, Alaska — White was backpacking alone along the Toklat River. After hikers found an abandoned backpack and torn clothing, rangers investigated and found a male grizzly bear sitting on White's remains. The bear was shot and killed by an Alaska State Trooper. A necropsy of the bear and photographs recovered from White's camera confirmed the attack. The photographs in White's camera showed that he was taking photos of the bear in a span of eight minutes from 50 yards (46 m) to 100 yards (91 m). It was the first fatal bear attack recorded in Denali National Park. |
| August 24, 2011 | John Wallace, 59, male | Wild | USA, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming — Wallace's remains were found by hikers on the Mary Mountain Trail, northeast of Old Faithful. Wallace was hiking alone. An autopsy showed that Wallace died from a bear attack. According to a report released by Yellowstone rangers, park officials had attempted to give Wallace a lecture about bear safety, but he was not interested, calling himself a "grizzly bear expert". DNA evidence later determined that the same sow that killed Brian Matayoshi July 6, 2011, was in the vicinity of Wallace's corpse, though it was not proved that this bear killed Wallace. The bear was killed by park officials. Evidence showed that Wallace was attacked after sitting down on a log to eat a snack and the attack was predatory, rather than defensive. |
| July 6, 2011 | Brian Matayoshi, 57, male | Wild | USA, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming — Matayoshi and his wife were hiking the Wapiti Lake Trail, and came upon a mother grizzly bear in an open meadow. The couple began to walk away, and the bear charged. After attempting to run away, Matayoshi was fatally bitten and clawed. Matayoshi's wife hid behind a tree, was lifted from the ground by the bear, and dropped. She played dead, and the bear left the area. She was not injured. An initial investigation by the National Park Service found the bear's actions were defensive against a perceived threat to her cubs. Since the attack was not predatory and the bear had no known violent history towards humans, no immediate action was taken towards the bear, the bear was later killed after it was found to be at the site of another fatal attack August 24, 2011. A later investigation determined that the couple's running from the bear was a mistake, and the fatal attack was a "one in 3 million occurrence". |
| July 28, 2010 | Kevin Kammer, 48, male | Wild | USA, Gallatin National Forest, Montana — Kammer was in his tent at Soda Butte Campground when a mother bear attacked and dragged him 25 feet (7.6 m) away. Two other campers in separate campsites were also attacked: a man was bitten in the leg, and a woman was bitten in the arm and upper body. The bear was caught in a trap set at the campground using pieces of a culvert and Kammer's tent. Later, the bear was killed, and her cubs were sent to ZooMontana. The mother bear's unusual predatory behavior was noted by authorities. |
| June 17, 2010 | Erwin Frank Evert, 70, male | Wild | USA, Shoshone National Forest, Wyoming — Evert, a field botanist, was mauled by a grizzly bear while hiking in the Kitty Creek Drainage area of the Shoshone National Forest, just east of Yellowstone National Park. The bear was trapped and tranquilized earlier in the day by a grizzly bear research team. Two days after the attack, the bear was shot and killed from a helicopter by wildlife officials. Initially it was reported that Evert ignored posted warnings to avoid the area due to the potential danger involved with the bear research. However, the sheriff's deputy who recovered the body and members of Evert's family stated that the warning signs were no longer present. A report released the following month confirmed that the warning signs were removed, though it also asserted that Evert knew there was a bear research study being conducted in the area. Evert's wife filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the federal government, which was dismissed by district court judge Nancy D. Freudenthal. |
