A polar bear killed a young woman and her baby son in a remote area of Alaska, police said, in a rare attack by an animal battling the worst effects of human-caused climate change.

LOS ANGELES, United States-

A local resident shot and killed the animal during the attack, but the mauling was so severe that mother and baby perished, they said of Tuesday’s tragedy. Satellite images show a desolate environment with just a few dozen low-rise buildings, mostly huddled along the seashore. “It’s even more rare for that to happen in the middle of January in the high Arctic, where there’s plenty of sea ice and polar bears are typically out… hunting seals.” The NGO said only 20 people worldwide are known to have been killed by polar bears between 1870 and 2014, though the frequency of attacks is increasing.
