A hunter has shot and killed a bear in southwest France after it bit him during a boar hunt. The hunter is now in a critical condition in hospital in Toulouse.

The 70-year-old man was taking part in a bear hunt in the commune of Seix in Ariège, Occitanie, yesterday (Saturday, November 20).

He reported that he was attacked by a bear, who was with her cubs. The female bear bit him on the leg, greatly damaging his femoral artery, around 15:30
