A 48-year-old Italian motorcyclist, Omar Farang Zin, was killed by a bear on the Transfăgărășan road near the Vidraru Dam in the Carpathian Mountains of Romania. The incident occurred after the tourist stopped to take photos and posed for a selfie with a bear cub. The bear, identified as a female, attacked and dragged him into a steep ravine where he was mauled to death. The victim had reportedly fed the bear, despite warnings against such behavior. The bear responsible for the attack was subsequently shot by authorities. Following the bear's death, its three orphaned cubs went missing and have not been located or taken to the rehabilitation center in Zărnești. Romanian officials, including the Ministry of Environment, have been involved in managing the aftermath of the incident. This attack is part of a broader context where nearly 30 people have been killed by bears in Romania over the past two decades. The motorcyclist's final moments were recorded on video, which shows him interacting with the bear before the fatal attack. The case has drawn international media attention and raised concerns about tourist interactions with wildlife in the region.
