Anchorage police first got a report of the injured man shortly after 9 p.m. Wednesday. The 911 caller said the man had come out of the woods near a private driveway, close to the intersection of Edinburgh and Selkirk drives near an entrance to Campbell Creek Estuary Natural Area, the city's newest park, according to Jennifer Castro, Anchorage Police Department spokesperson. Castro said the man had "multiple wounds and was bleeding."
"The caller stated the male was barely responsive and looked like he may have been cut with a knife," Castro said.
The man was taken to the hospital in critical condition, with injuries to his head, neck and chest. Medical staff said it appeared his wounds likely came from a bear, not a knife, according to Castro.
"His injuries were primarily to the front of his body and he did not appear to have any defensive wounds," she said.

We live in the last gasps of temperate climate, indicated by the uptick in weather disasters occurring all over the world, the ramifications of the electric universe affecting our entire solar system.
