Biologists speculate on reasons for rash of bear attacks
None of the three bears Game and Fish employees killed recently had rabies test show, which some officials feared might be the cause of their unusually aggressive behavior. State authorities are still waiting for DNA results to confirm whether any of the three bears killed by a federal contract hunter were involved in the three attacks on humans some 12 miles northeast of Payson.
