ANCHORAGE, Alaska — An Alaska woman had the scare of a lifetime when using an outhouse in the backcountry and she was attacked by a bear, from below.

"I got out there and sat down on the toilet and immediately something bit my butt right as I sat down," Shannon Stevens told The Associated Press on Thursday. "I jumped up and I screamed when it happened."

"I just shut the lid as fast as I could. I said, 'There's a bear down there, we got to get out of here now,'" he said. "And we ran back to the yurt as fast as we could."

Alaska Department of Fish and Game Wildlife Management Biologist Carl Koch suspects it was a black bear based upon photos of the tracks he saw and the fact that a neighbor living about a half mile away sent him a photo of a black bear on her property two days later.

Koch suspects Shannon's wound was caused by the bear swatting at her with a paw rather than being bitten. Either way, the location might be a first.

"As far as getting swatted on the butt when you're sitting down in winter, she could be the only person on Earth that this has ever happened to, for all I know," Koch said.

Does a bear shit in the woods? No. No it does not. It uses the outhouse.



"I got out there and sat down on the toilet and immediately something bit my butt right as I sat down," Shannon Stevens told The Associated Press on Thursday. "I jumped up and I screamed when it happened."

"I just shut the lid as fast as I could. I said, 'There's a bear down there, we got to get out of here now,'" he said. "And we ran back to the yurt as fast as we could."

"I just shut the lid as fast as I could. I said, 'There's a bear down there, we got to get out of here now,'" he said. "And we ran back to the yurt as fast as we could."

Once safely back inside, they treated Shannon with a first aid kit. They determined it wasn't that serious, but they would head to Haines if it worsened.

That's what happens when you walk in to an occupied stall. You get your ass bit.

I always heard that is a common problem in Alaska, too the point folks stash a gun in the outhouse

Yeah. Unless her butt was doing some weird play dough stuff, I really don't understand how the bear could've bitten her butt.

Imagine being attacked by a bear covered in outhouse stuff.

I can't read the article right now, but does it explain how a fucking bear fit in a toilet?

Is it normal that the question that lingers in my head is, how do you guys know she went in there to poo? Maybe she just needed to pee. Is it because Winnie the Pee isn't as funny?

Fake news. Girls don't poop.

More like brown bear.

Reminds me of that Xfiles episode, where that creature somehow crawls inside a port a potty toilet.
