California woman was harassed by aggressive black bear she named ‘Big B---ard’ before fatal mauling in home

Pactice Miller, 71, had been harassed by an aggressive black bear in her small Northern California town for months before it broke into her home and killed her last year. 

When officials first found Miller’s body mauled and partially eaten last November in her Downieville home, they first believed she may have died of natural causes and the bear broke in, attracted by the scent.

But neighbors had reported seeing the bear, which she had dubbed "Big B---ard," repeatedly returning to her house, according to the Sacramento Bee.
