“I walked in, sat down on the toilet seat, and something immediately bit me on the butt,” Shannon Stevens said. “I jumped up and screamed.”

The cry attracted the attention of brother Eric Stevens, who said that he quickly ran to the toilet in the form of a separate courtyard building.

“I took the headlamp and lifted the lid,” he said. “There, at seat level, maybe an inch or two below, was a huge bear face looking right at me.”

They ran back to cover and treated Shannon's minor injuries. The next morning, vacationers found footprints leading from the fire to the restroom, but the bear itself was not there.

Tourists said the animal could have entered the annex through the aisle and made its way to the restroom.

Although the number of bears should be kept to a minimum in February as the animals take refuge for the winter, biologist Karl Koch said he had heard of at least two confirmed sightings this month in the Haynes area.

According to the US Fish and Wildlife Service, most brown bear sightings occur in the summer, which coincides with the salmon spawning season. Males can weigh between 500 and 900 pounds (225-410 kg). They are considered “the largest land-based predators,” although they also include plants in their diet.

Black bears, also omnivores, are much smaller—males weigh about 200 pounds (90 kg).

Both types of bears usually sleep in winter, but according to the Wildlife Service, they do not go into "real hibernation."

“When we're there in the summer or fall, I yell, 'Hey, there's a bear over there,' all the way there,” Shannon said. “But it was the middle of winter.” I couldn’t even think about it.”
